This piece is a significant work within the "Half a  Smile" series, notable for its highly abstract nature. Technically, it  integrates full-round sculpture, bas-relief, and high relief into a single  form. Viewed from the front, six figures appear to lean against one another,  gradually ascending, while the reverse reveals an abstract, peapod-like  shape. The work explores the relationship between the whole and its parts,  the individual and the collective, while pushing the artist's personal visual  language to its fullest expression.
