Sublimation 2002

"Sublimation" is a 2002 work by Louise Bourgeois, a prominent feminist artist who explored themes of memory, loss, and the body in her art. The piece consists of a hand-drawn image, likely in red ink, of swirling, overlapping forms resembling clouds or abstract landscapes, on one half of the paper. The other half is filled with handwritten text in black ink, which describes a scenario of parental conflict. Bourgeois's work is often characterized by its raw emotional honesty and the use of personal narratives to address universal experiences, making "Sublimation" a powerful and thought-provoking exploration of familial relationships and the complexities of human experience.
