About the artwork

In "Yoga In Love," two figures intertwine in a harmonious embrace, their forms melding seamlessly. The bronze sculpture exudes warmth and profound connection, symbolizing the unity of souls through a shared journey of understanding and affection. Gunawan's use of signature rounded forms enhances the intimacy and fluidity of the piece, celebrating bodies in their most tender and accepting expressions. The gentle proximity of their faces, poised for a kiss, speaks to a quiet, deep bond, where balance is found not just individually but in harmonious partnership. This artwork beautifully captures the essence of love as a meditative practice, where two individuals find strength and serenity in each other's presence. Through "Yoga In Love," Adi Gunawan invites viewers to reflect on the power of shared vulnerability and the serene joy found when two hearts align in perfect, peaceful union.
