Saint Phalle’s vibrant, voluptuous *Adam and Eve* reinterprets the biblical tale with a playful, feminist lens. Unlike traditional depictions emphasizing shame and sin, her figures are joyful, colorful, and free of judgment. The bright, rounded forms and patterns embody Saint Phalle’s signature style, reflecting her mission to reimagine historical narratives through female empowerment. The work is a continuation of her large-scale *Tarot Garden* project, where mythology and contemporary sensibilities merge.

Renoir’s *Washerwoman* is one of his most significant sculptures, depicting a working-class figure engaged in everyday labor. Despite its imposing form, the piece radiates a sense of peace and dignity. Renoir, suffering from arthritis, collaborated with sculptor Richard Guino to bring this vision to life, reaffirming his artistic dedication even in his final years.

Haring’s *Totem* explores universal human connection through a towering, minimalist structure. Reflecting indigenous and ancient artistic traditions, the figures on the sculpture interlock in a continuous embrace, symbolizing unity. Created near the end of Haring’s life, the work embodies themes of mortality, resilience, and the power of collective strength.

This monumental sculpture reimagines water deities beyond the Western archetype of Poseidon. Hirt’s *God of the Waters* exudes serenity rather than power, inviting contemplation. At night, an ethereal mist and illuminated figures inside the sculpture create a theatrical, otherworldly experience, reinforcing its mystical nature.

Rodin’s *The Inner Voice* is a dynamic yet introspective sculpture, capturing movement and emotion through its twisted form. Originally part of *The Gates of Hell*, the work represents meditation and inner struggle. Rodin’s decision to leave it unfinished adds to its philosophical depth, inviting viewers to complete its meaning.
