From the artist:
This sculpture takes the form of an unusual fantasy vehicle to promote the concept that the solution that it offers may only be one of fantasy, though it could become reality. This sculpture receives its title as it offers a unique seating opportunity for two people who would be forced to face each other on uneven ground. Both participants are at a slant with one higher than the other much as how in many conflicts it seems that one person feels they have the high-ground or the advantage over the other. The proximity between the participants is so tight that it encourages the conflict. While this may sound like an exacerbation of turmoil, as do feel that confrontation is the best solution to most problems.
