This striking sculpture portrays a reclining female figure captured in a dramatic suspended pose, balancing gracefully on extended arms and legs. The composition creates a captivating sense of movement and tension, emphasizing both strength and elegance in the human form.

Salmones’ distinctive sculptural language is evident throughout the piece. The figure is modeled with expressive textural surfaces and fluid anatomical lines, giving the work a raw, tactile quality that contrasts beautifully with the polished presentation of its base.

The sculpture rests on a clear Lucite plinth, elevating the figure visually while creating the illusion that the form is floating within space—an effect that makes the piece particularly compelling when displayed on a console, pedestal, or coffee table in contemporary interiors.
