Eva Talooki’s Opposing Figures with Raised Arms is a striking composition, its stark stone forms animated by the vivid interplay of beadwork. The sculpture itself is defined by sharp, geometric contours, the opposing figures emerging as mirror-like presences, their raised arms emphasizing a dynamic upward movement. The beadwork introduces a powerful chromatic rhythm: bold bands of yellow, black, white, and red create a cascading effect, softening the sculpture’s hard angles.
