The tender embrace of the figures evokes a poetic power derived from the amethyst gemstone upon which they stand. The Healing matrix of gems is well understood in the ancient world. Here the 'celestial' element that we are all made of 'stars' considers this spirit further enhanced by the silver tattoo of the 'Reiki' power symbol of the 'Cho-ku-rei'.

The Star nature of the lovers is reflected in the Heart 2 heart necklace worn by the female figure. The Heat 2 Heart symbol was co-created between the artist & his muse, who happen to be married to each other.
