About this work

This boxed scene looks like a small, worn room. A purple door stands open, showing another room inside. Below it, a person sits on steps, holding a fan. On the right, a feather and a metal heart lie on a shelf. The wood frame is cracked, and the fabric behind the door is torn. The artist used real objects—like the fan and heart—glued onto the picture. It feels like a mix of memory and craft. Look up Betye Saar next to see more of her mixed-media work.
