Alice II (Feet Uncrossed)

A delicate porcelain figure of a young girl rendered in Kiki Smith's characteristically intimate and quietly unsettling style, evoking the iconic literary heroine Alice with an air of stillness and vulnerability. The pale, ceramic surface lends the figure a ghostly, otherworldly quality, blurring the line between the sacred and the fragile. Smith's choice of porcelain reinforces themes of the body as both precious and breakable, inviting reflection on childhood, femininity, and the weight of myth.
