Whilst reading Siri Hustvedt's book: What I Loved I was struck by complex interelationships between a couple and their child. In this trinity, the parents are connected through the child. They also appear to hover behind the child like ghost - guarding and guiding him. The parents also get their grounding and stability from the child.

In this work, I also continued my experimentation with the expressive power of wire to draw in space, using economical lines to express the figures of the mother and father.
