The sculpture is carved from serpentine stone and is embraced and compressed by straps made from the same material, which press on all sides, creating bulges at various points, similar to a balloon that is about to burst. These bulges add a sense of suffocation and pressure, highlighting the action of the straps and the reaction that arises from it.
This scene represents the inequality and difficulties that individuals and society face on different levels. The delicate balances created can lead to an explosion, much like a balloon being compressed beyond its limits.
In this case, the reaction is inevitable and affects us all, emphasizing the importance of interdependence and maintaining balance.
