This haunting sculptural object, often referred to as the "Crying Pillow," carved from translucent stone, likely alabaster or a similar mineral. Its form mimics the soft, sunken contours of a pillow, with a central bronze or brass drain resembling a crying eye. The natural veining of the stone and the delicate folds radiating outward give it an emotional, almost surreal quality—merging utility with deeply evocative design.
Medium: Hand-carved alabaster or onyx with metal drain fitting
Dimensions:15"x11"x4"
