Thank you for sharing! What do you appreciate most about this piece?
I like that the only one who seems to realize the rock is going to fall is the young woman, while everyone else is too focused on their work to notice.
I looked it up and there doesn’t seem to be a very clear interpretation, but it says it was commissioned for Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater.
