Looking at Her is an unconventional statue of a woman, in which her different body parts – hands, knees, breasts – are detached from one another and separated into their own rectangular boxes. All of them protrude from their niches except her face, which is a void. It is a comment on the often depersonalised representation of women in art and culture.
