This first maquette, derived from small sketches made in 2022, was completed in the spring of 2026. The concepts for an expansive series based on this initial piece were then conceived and outlined by Kirsten Lübbert. The Four States are as follows: I. Dispersion / Separation; II. Approach / Movement Toward Each Other; III. Encounter / Circle Formation; and IV. Organized Randomness / Apparent Chance. What they represent as a series is a spiritual progression and development.

The theme as suggested by the main title is a reference to a transformative phase of individuation. The pairs consisting of male and female represent opposing and complementary principles of life. The central forms represent the creative fire or energy that opens, excites, enriches, renews and reveals on every level of experience. Altogether the whole composition is a real-life expression of a dream that unfolds and plays out in the inward and outward spaces of a creative individuation and life.
