Description of work:
as stated in Sage Holdings' Annual Report 1980, p. 19
"The 1.73 m sculpture is an outstanding example of Sithole's work ... Sithole's major theme in creating the work was one of people and growth, reflected in the fusion of two people into one form. The work also symbolises the interlocking and interdependence of people in achieving corporate growth"
