Two women — their figures paired, perhaps in conversation or simply in proximity — appear in one of Kitaoka's figurative studies. The subject allows him to explore the formal relationship between two human forms: how they echo each other, how they contrast, how the space between them charges the composition. Whether they are in dialogue or simply sharing a space, the print conveys a sense of social presence and female solidarity that recurs throughout his figurative work.
