The sculpture itself is a gateway to a new world.
It consists of two large Chinese granite columns with two women at the top.
The women are frozen in a balancing position, holding two wheels –
two spinning wheels. One wheel is decorated with Hans Christian Andersen's paper cut "The Sun's Head." The women stand in a Tai Chi posture, a Chinese exercise form
closely linked to the yin-yang symbol and the philosophy of the eternal interplay of opposites. The name of the sculpture is precisely that:
The Bow of Balance.

The sculptor Mette Agerbæk (1960-2011) trained as a graphic artist
and sculptor at the Funen Art Academy (1982-86) and at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Roma in Italy (1986-1987).
