"Characters" is a 1965 installation by Louise Bourgeois, known for her exploration of personal themes. Composed of six towering, stacked sculptures, the artwork utilizes a variety of materials and colors. The sculptures resemble elongated, abstract figures, suggesting a sense of fragility and instability. Bourgeois's work often delves into themes of memory, loss, and the human condition, prompting viewers to contemplate their own experiences and relationships with the world.
