Tony Oursler

Crying Doll (Floral #2)

Tony Oursler's *Crying Doll (Floral #2)* features the artist's signature use of projected video imagery cast onto a sculptural form, animating an eerie, doll-like figure with a looping emotional expression. The work blurs the boundary between the human and the artificial, inviting viewers to confront feelings of vulnerability and psychological unease. Oursler's floral motifs add a layer of decorative tension, contrasting the softness of natural imagery with the unsettling intimacy of the crying figure.
