Where love lives
A 10-metre-tall wire sculpture on the Vál ridge — a man and a woman seated back to back, and the children inside them reaching for each other.

The journey
From Burning Man to the Vál ridge
The monumental work of Ukrainian sculptor Alexander Milov stands in Vál — first shown at the 2015 Burning Man Festival in the United States, where it earned worldwide acclaim.
In 2017 it travelled, by an adventurous route, to the Haraszthy estate. What makes the sculpture special isn’t only its scale: it sits in the middle of our Vál vineyards, framed by them, monumental on the ridge.

The meaning
What the sculpture says
A man and a woman, formed from wire, seated back to back and turned inward — and the inner children inside them, turned toward each other, reaching out their hands.
- The wire
- The conflict between women and men.
- The child
- The embrace, the love, the longing for the other.
- The couple
- Seated back to back — the hurt, the loneliness, the shell.
- The frame
- 10 metres tall, 16 metres wide — first stood at Burning Man.

A spring and an autumn day at the sculpture
Twice a year we gather to celebrate freedom, love, wine and good company — here at the sculpture, between the vines of Vál.
LOVE wines
Three bottles of the sculpture
Reductive in style, energetic on the palate — a feeling and a place, shared again with someone every time you pour a glass.

Anytime — free
The sculpture is open day and night, year-round. At dawn especially — the rising sun lights through the wire frame and paints the rows of vines.
