The swooping lines circle in continuous fluid movement; your eye cannot be still while looking at this piece, but is drawn around and around. In this way, Onias suggests that the strength of love endures through life's ups and downs.

Springstone is the local name for a hard variant of serpentine stone. It is a particularly good sculpture medium, as it has a very even internal structure of small grains of rock; it is dense and has very few flaws. It is the favoured medium for Zimbabwe's most famous sculptors.
