"I based this piece on the ancient Roman statue known as Sleeping Hermaphroditus, who is the offspring of Hermes and Aphrodite, and where the term hermaphrodite originally derives from. The original statue is thought to have been carved in the second century AD, and many copies have been rediscovered over hundreds of years."
