The central element of the sculpture is two hands that hold a heart-shaped fruit gently and carefully, as if lifting love and care itself to the heights. Made of bronze, the sculpture's smooth, softly curved lines and warm golden hues convey the warmth and security of love. The fine details of the hands, the bend of the fingers, and the meticulous rendering of the skin’s texture all emphasize the power and importance of human touch. The tenderness and protection flowing from the gestures of the hands convey that fragile yet infinitely valuable feeling we all seek throughout our lives.

The two hands symbolize the bond that forms between two people, the love that emerges from shared effort and care. The artist seems to have left us a secret code, one that each person can decipher through their own life experiences. It reminds us that love is not just a feeling, but the result of a relationship continuously nurtured. Gregor’s creation invites us not merely to view but to experience its message, affirming that love truly is the sweetest fruit of life.
