Perception; Pain or Ecstasy

When first saw this sculpture and made this image I was taken by its beautiful form. I walked around it, studying the detail and imagined it meaning (its intended meaning and my imagined meaning). Like so many perceptions, what is the truth, pain or ecstasy, joy or fear, wanting or loathing? A fine line. What form of desperation Is the outstretched arm symbolizing, weakness to the unknown or perhaps fulfilled anticipation?
