How does it work?

For the sake of the second iteration, Here is the shape I have in mind.



The overall is a face. When separated they change into to two views of a person looking for a hug, which was kind of discovered by mistake.
The top part is the adventurer, which goes out and sees the world. The bottom part is the base, that waits for the adventurer to come home. In a sense these two parts relate to the self: with all that courage and interest, we change our homelands and leave the place we felt safe and moved on to explorer other chances. The base of the object relates another self that is stuck at home, feeling lonely and in need for a hug or a familiar voice.

This is how it works
