Antoni is known for a practice in which she uses her body as both a tool and a source of meaning. In this work, she fuses a partial cast of her own face with a rib cage, a pillow, and a pedestal, whose dramatically elongated form mirrors that of a Roman column. Part of a body of sculptures inspired by Milagros—objects offered as part of religious or devotional rituals in Latin cultures—this ethereal form suggests the quiet intimacy of an unknown dreamscape. —HJ
