Woman-House 1983

"Woman-House" is a 1983 sculpture by Louise Bourgeois. The piece depicts a female figure enveloped in a mass of billowing fabric that resembles both a cocoon and a house. Bourgeois, known for her exploration of themes related to the body, home, and memory, uses this sculpture to explore the complexities of the female experience. The work’s abstract form, evocative of both containment and freedom, invites viewers to contemplate the emotional and psychological weight of domesticity and the search for self-discovery.
