A relationship has a lifecycle, an arc of organic development that may be out of the control of either party and which may unfold in ways that confound conscious intentions. According to Carl Jung, in most long-term, intimate relationships, one person is usually the container and the other the contained.

In the image, the container is like a boat with two heads. The two heads suggest that it is the larger, more complete being, but it also seems more diffused than the one contained. Container and contained can fall into a stagnant equilibrium, but then there is third force — the unexpected entering as a winged being carrying a wreath — and container and contained are reanimated and transformed.
