Label TextTwo reclining figures lie intertwined amid a wash of warm colors. The edges of their bodies blur together, obscuring where one person starts and the other stops. They melt into an ordinary room, identifiable only by a lamp, window shade, and the murky suggestion of a frame on a wall. These objects become familiar footholds in this otherwise dreamlike moment.

Dos figuras recostadas yacen entrelazadas en medio de una estela de colores cálidos. Los contornos de sus cuerpos se difuminan, ocultando dónde empieza una persona y dónde termina la otra. Se funden en una habitación ordinaria, que se puede identificar sólo por una lámpara, una persiana y la dudosa sugerencia de un marco en una pared. Estos objetos se convierten en puntos de apoyo familiares en este momento de ensueño.
