Fallen Woman
1996
A fragile porcelain figure lies prostrate, rendered in delicate white ceramic accented with the subtle warmth of mat gold. Louise Bourgeois channels her lifelong exploration of the female body, vulnerability, and psychological tension into this small yet commanding sculpture. The work evokes themes of collapse, surrender, and resilience, inviting viewers to contemplate the complex emotional states that defined much of Bourgeois's deeply personal artistic vision.
