Louise Bourgeois’ “Spirals” represent the duality of control and chaos in life. The spiral, as depicted on the recycled tote bag, symbolizes the cyclical nature of existence and the tension between order and disorder. Bourgeois, influenced by her childhood experiences with weaving and her fascination with spiders, used the spiral to express the constant interplay between structure and unpredictability. © The Easton Foundation / TATE London 2021
