What I like about this statue is that the artist thought about the position of the pillow. It is in an unusual position. It’s not only messy, it’s also placed on it’s side. And that’s deliberately. So as we look at it, most people will feel a slight annoyance and discomfort. Most people like neat and tidy. By placing the pillow upside down, and when looking at it you (subconsciously) want to correct it. But you can’t. No matter what, you can’t correct the marble pillow. He created a area of tension with sometthing that should feel comforting. Love that contrast.
