Untitled 1996

Louise Bourgeois's Untitled, from 1996, is a haunting assemblage sculpture that embodies themes of childhood, memory, and vulnerability. Constructed from fabric, lace, and string, the piece takes the form of a crudely fashioned doll. The use of everyday materials and the work’s imperfect form contribute to a sense of fragility and evoke a sense of longing and unease. Bourgeois's work often drew inspiration from her own childhood and the complex relationships she experienced, exploring themes of fear, desire, and loss.
