Cell 3, White Marble Spheres 1993

"Cell 3, White Marble Spheres" (1993) by Louise Bourgeois is a poignant example of the artist's exploration of themes of confinement, vulnerability, and memory. The sculpture consists of a cage-like structure, reminiscent of a prison or a cell, holding several white marble spheres. The spheres represent an ethereal and vulnerable element, trapped within the confines of the cage. This piece, created during Bourgeois' later career, exemplifies her use of recurring motifs and materials to explore complex psychological themes.
