Porcelain figurine of a sleeper, originating from a series in which the artist explored the positions our bodies naturally relax into during sleep. She realized that this is an intimate moment—perhaps the only one during the day—when we lose conscious control over the posture of our own body. The specific and varied positions captivated her with their immediate authenticity.
