Cupid and Psyche
Second Kiss

 2014 | Resin and Gold | approx. 0.01 cm x 0.009 cm x 0.01 cm

In this embrace, we tell the mythical story of love lost, a journey, great challenges and a finally a moment of joining. This is a sculpture of Jonty and Yifat in a loving embrace.

On the head of an Ant

To try and give a sense of scale, we combined two images shot in a scanning electron microscope. The face of an ant and the sculpture.

Compared to a single human sperm

A human sperm is astonishingly small, measuring just about 5 micrometers in width and around 10 to 50 micrometers in length. Here you can get a sense of this sculpture in comparison to a single sperm.
