"Do you love me?" is a sculpture by Louise Bourgeois, a prominent feminist artist known for her exploration of themes like the body, relationships, and childhood experiences. This piece features a large, smooth marble sphere, seemingly too heavy for the single, slender leg that supports it, creating an unsettling tension. The leg, resting on a rough, rocky base, evokes fragility and vulnerability, while the sphere symbolizes weight and burden. The title, carved into the rock, invites viewers to consider the complexities of love and its potential for both support and oppression. This sculpture, characteristic of Bourgeois' work, sparks introspection and raises questions about the nature of human relationships.
