The name of the sculpture alludes to the merger of two individual bifrontal sculptures, laterally joined to create a new "sensitive" object that looks at us and involves us.
The sculpture seems to emerge from the ground as though inventing a way to converse. If observed from the upper section, it looks as if it issues from the arched, rhythmic strip of the profile, before spreading out with the jutting forms of the central part and finishing in the base, without which it could not stand, but which serves to place the piece in a "inexistent" site, in an ideal rapport between two opposing horizons.
The completely uniform white colour does not appear as a coating, but as a body of the plasticity of the piece itself and determines its structure: by not having any gradations, variations of light and shade are avoided so that the immediacy is not lost, and the observer's attention is not led astray by detail.
Consagra's own choice of frontal viewing, giving value to the placement of the sculpture, offers an alternative direct human communication, a different attitude toward what already exists.
