A lot of non-sexual emotions arise when I look at this art piece.
There is so much love, hunger, reverence, and passion in the way he embraces her. It feels like surrender which is held with protection. She is allowing him to take over her body because there is immense trust there, which a woman feels when she is safely absorbed into the person she loves.
That is what makes it so beautiful. The act of becoming one is about recognition, safety, devotion, and the quiet permission to dissolve into another person for a moment.
i love the quiet intimacy of staying up to talk to someone like yes lets both ruin our sleeping schedule and keep each other company until five am without realizing it
