The artwork, created by Louise Bourgeois in 1999 in the United States, is a sculpture situated within the Confessional Art movement. It remains untitled and belongs to the genre of sculpture.
The sculpture portrays a humanoid figure meticulously constructed from fabric and various materials, emphasizing a patchwork aesthetic. The figure’s body is composed of dark, stitched-together pieces, suggesting themes of fragmentation and mending. One notable aspect is the figure’s limbs, where one leg is replaced by a wooden prosthetic, and the figure’s reliance on a crutch is evident. This evokes a strong sense of physical vulnerability and resilience. The sculpture is mounted on a simple, dark pedestal, further highlighting the figure’s poignant and evocative presence.
