In the garden, two stone boulders sit tightly nestled together, adorned on one side with two pairs of touching, sensuously parted lips. The Kiss offers itself as a place for repose or children’s play. The two boulders, while permanently fixed due to their weight, remain nevertheless unattached, frozen eternally in the lingering moment before or after a kiss’ consummation.
