House
A massive, rough-hewn marble form evokes the primal notion of shelter and domestic space, its dense, weighty presence simultaneously suggesting protection and entrapment. Bourgeois transforms the familiar concept of home into a psychological landscape, carving into the stone's surface to create a structure that feels both architectural and visceral. The cold permanence of marble amplifies the charged emotional tension between safety and confinement that defined much of the artist's deeply personal body of work.
