Maman
Maman is a large bronze sculpture created by artist Louise Bourgeois. It depicts a giant spider and stands over 30 feet tall. The sculpture is part of the Bourgeois collection and symbolizes themes of motherhood, protection, and fear. Maman is often interpreted as a representation of the artist's own mother, who was a weaver.
The sculpture is displayed in various locations, including the Guggenheim Museum in New York and the Tate Modern in London. Maman's intricate design features a body made of bronze and eight long, spindly legs, creating a striking contrast between its imposing size and delicate appearance.
