Depicting a typical wedding ceremony held during springtime at the edge of a small Chinese village, the naked bride evokes the desires of the husband and expresses the families' desires for perpetuation of cultural, and familial, values. The structure and calm of the surrounding party denotes their sense of ease concerning the nuptials. The pastoral scene, and the sculptural rendering of it's occupants, imbue the wedding with purity, happiness and the presage of paradise found.
