I don't see the image, but apparently this sculpture is a woman walking - however I see no resemblance to a woman walking at all. I personally saw jigsaw puzzle pieces in the bronze model. If in fact it was a woman, I would expect to see more curves rather than straight lines and sharp edges, which I associate more with male features. However I do see the strong link to cubism in the piece. Much like the work of Picasso and Braque, the piece has weird and wonderful shapes to express the idea of a woman walking. The green surface of the model appears to give the piece a softer feel, thus making it more feminine. I really like the piece because of the angles used - although I could never see the intended vision - I love walking around the piece and seeing the many different point of view.
