The two figures are leaning against each other and their legs are intertwined to form a central pillar. Their heads are painted blue and covered with dots, a recurring motif in Amadou Sanogo's paintings. They symbolise doubts and questions. This proverb reminds us that when faced with difficulties, it is important to know who to turn to and to choose your allies wisely so as not to fall.
