Each ‘sphere’ encompasses aspects of the essential qualities and attributes associated with the human condition. These ‘spheres’ represent the idea that we all have the same beginning, but then we are shaped and moulded by our genetics and our environment into the individual and imperfect beings we are. Each piece was created by a two-part mould but, as with human development, the evolution of both internal and external characteristics resulted in individual profiles, none quite the same, none free of imperfections, each a tribute to its own journey.
