I can see the ugliness of this sculpture but I choose to see the beauty instead. What if, instead of being overpowered against one's will, instead what we are seeing is this woman, wanting to fall to her death because she has lost her child, and this man is pulling her back from the brink? What if, instead of being forced into an act she didn't want, we are seeing her reaction to him admitting to her an ugly from his past, full of good intentions that need explanations to understand that she is reacting to, and him holding her so that he can allow time for the realization and acceptance to occur? Or, what if this is the artistic rendering of a soul-rending dance between the two? For me, I could not help but instantly see memories of the spine-tingling dance performances I have seen on a show that I love, "Dancing with the Stars." This sculpture could be a snapshot of so many pivotal moves that made the dance unforgettable.

We choose what we want to see, don't we? :)
(here is an example of the sort of heart-rending performance which came to mind...
