The piece depicts two cranes, their necks gracefully intertwined, as they take flight. The cranes are highly stylized, with elongated beaks and thin, tapered legs. Their bodies are formed by twisting brass wire into flowing curves, and their feathers are suggested by the layering of brass and leather elements.

The sculpture is dynamic and full of movement, capturing the moment when the cranes are just lifting off the ground. Lovet-Lorski's skillful use of negative space creates a sense of weightlessness and adds to the feeling of motion. The intertwined necks of the cranes create an elegant and intricate composition, further emphasized by the interplay of materials - the smooth, polished brass contrasting with the textured leather.

Overall, "Entwined Cranes" is a beautiful and striking sculpture that showcases Lovet-Lorski's mastery of materials and form. It is a piece that would be sure to capture the attention of any viewer with its dynamic energy and elegant beauty. See less
