The painting depicts an arrested moment of ecstatic daring. The silhouette of a woman leaps out from a sea of blues and greens, her head thrown back with enthusiasm and intent, her arms spread, and her back arched in mid-air. She appears suspended for a split second as she bounds through the diptych – right to left – away from the light and into the excitement of uncertainty. She exudes the energy that comes from a leap of faith, and her grace makes you confident of her landing.
