“Man and Woman” is a steel sculpture by the Georgian artist Tamara Kvesitadze, first exhibited in 2010 in the city of Batumi, Georgia. The sculpture depicts two human figures, a man and a woman, standing at 8 meters tall, approaching each other, meeting, embracing, and then moving away from each other again.”

The sculpture represents love as a fluctuating and dynamic experience, in which two individuals come together and move apart from each other but remain connected nonetheless. The steel used for the sculpture symbolizes the strength and resilience of love.
