Two children, boy and a girl, play leap frog in this bronze sculpture that will get you remembering your own youth. The boy crouches down, hands on the ground while the girls leaps over him. She has her hands on his back as she sails over him with pig tails flying. One could say the sculpture is figurative not only in the portrayal of the two youth, but also metaphorically as a leap into their own future and the life they will live.
