Czech marble, 55 x 45 x 22 cm
This figurative composition of two individual pieces in simplified closed form presents the viewer with their sensitively implemented, harmonious proportions: Concave and convex shapes, irregular structures, smooth interior forms and shining reflections form a successful combination. The formal language of the "marble family" bears exactly the same artistic signature as Vačeks Large sculpture "Wave of Life", which is on display in the park of the academy.

Jaroslav Vaček (*1923 in Vel'ké Kosihy, today Slovakia, †2012 in Prague, Czech Republic) was a Czech sculptor who studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague. Alfred Fuchs, the only honorary member of the Europäische Akademie Otzenhausen, was a friend of his. Vaček provided advice and support to the Jewish-German-born Fuchs, in dealing with the government in the post-war period. Together they travelled to Germany and, in 1993, exhibited at the Europäische Akademie Otzenhausen as the second group of artists from the former Eastern Bloc ever to do so. Vaček lived and worked in Prague.
