wooden stool and blankets
A weathered wooden stool is draped and enveloped in layers of heavy blankets, their fabric folding and cascading in organic, almost flesh-like forms. De Bruyckere transforms these humble domestic objects into something deeply visceral and emotionally charged, evoking themes of vulnerability, shelter, and the fragile boundary between comfort and suffering. The work carries the artist's signature sensitivity to the human condition, suggesting a body absent yet palpably present beneath the worn textile folds.
