Project overview

Two people are supported by one stool, and they are touching — so the support cannot be removed from one without breaking the other. Whatever replaces it has to carry both at the same height.

Transformation details

A vine swing was built at the stool's exact seat height, so neither figure moves and the contact between them is untouched.
The stool was removed and the overlap between the two bodies rebuilt where it had crossed the frame.
The jungle was placed with a bright gap behind the heads for separation, and haze added between the mid and far planes.
Green bounce was added to the undersides of both figures, which is what stops a subject in a forest looking like a subject in front of one.
