The artwork, entitled “Fragile Goddess,” was created by Louise Bourgeois in 2002 in the United States and is a significant piece within the art movement known as Confessional Art. This genre of artwork is classified as a sculpture.
The artwork displays a unique form, constructed from a soft, fabric-like material, skillfully stitched together to create an abstract, humanoid figure. Its curves and contours suggest the female form, rendered with a highly stylized approach that evokes both vulnerability and strength, characteristic of Bourgeois’ exploration of themes such as identity, memory, and femininity. The piece’s title, “Fragile Goddess,” enhances the perception of delicate yet divine femininity, encapsulating the dual nature of fragility and power.
