    Hiking

    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.
