I Do, I Undo and I Redo 

Louise Bourgeois, who lived from 1911 to 2010, created 'I Do, I Undo, and I Redo,' a piece reflecting her exploration of psychological states through sculpture. Bourgeois was raised in France, in a family that restored tapestries. The title suggests a cycle of creation, destruction, and recreation, which resonates with Bourgeois’s own life experiences. The structure, which looks part industrial and part fantastical, invites us to consider themes of repair and transformation. She once stated "The subject of the obsessive is the repetition of the act." Bourgeois transformed personal anxieties into art, using materials and forms to externalize internal conflicts. The spiral staircase, a prominent feature, symbolizes a journey inward, a descent into one's own psyche. The mirrors at the top might suggest self-reflection, and the potential for distortion or clarity in how we view ourselves. The artwork’s cyclical nature reflects the ongoing processes of memory, trauma, and healing that shape individual identities. It challenges traditional representations of the self as fixed, and emphasizes the emotional labor involved in remaking oneself.
