“Antony Gormley’s newest work is hanging in the geometric staircase at St Paul’s Cathedral. The steelwire sculpture appears to hang unsupported from the ceiling. Gormley believes that St Paul’s architect Christopher Wren “understood proportion, space and gravitational dynamics as no other British architect of his time and the geometric staircase is a supreme and elegant outcome of this understanding.” He explains Flare II as his attempt to use applied geometry to construct an energy field describing a human space in space”.

Sometimes the girl stands with arms around the boy’s waist, hands tightly clasped behind. Another fits her head into the curve of his cheek while tears fall onto his coat. Now and then the boy will take her face between his hands and speak reassuringly. Or, if the wait is long they may just stand quietly, not saying anything. The common denominator of all these goodbyes is sadness and tenderness, the complete oblivion for the moment to anything but their own individual heartaches.
