A sculpture from the "Sticky Pink" series, referring in shape to a pink open ring topped with marble white faces of a man and a woman looking at each other. The author Michał Jackowski said that the sculpture can inspire viewers to think about what a promise they have made to someone means to them. It is also intended to encourage people to remember other people, "to look each other in the eye and recall promises made", including life promises made during a wedding, but not only.
