In terms of content, the levitating figure of a corpulent young woman with a tilted head is poetic and dream-like. But in terms of the artistic approach, it represents a very original technical experiment, a careful investigation of a form with a coarse, porous, and earthy core transitioning into a highly sophisticated, subtle, and delicate surface.
