It is the achievement for a carver, that there is a close similarity of the man and the women when he carves a Tugubele couple. On first view, it should be obvious, that these two statues of a spirit belong together. Ponzié Coulibaly from Pitangomo was a Fono and not the best carver, but his style elements are remarkable to see the togetherness.
In a comparisson with a Tugubele couple of Sabariko Koné, it is very obvious, that Ponzié was influenced by the work of Sabariko.

Der menschliche Körper ist von der Wissenschaft bis in das Kleinste erfroscht. Dabei wird in der Betrachtungsart immer vergrößert. Betrachtet man den Mensch in diesem Prosess im Ganzen, so erkennt man offene Lücken und Spalten.
The human body is scientificly selected into bits and pieces. The more you go into details, the more you lose the view of the whole thing. Gaps and cracks appear.
