Louise Bourgeois' Woman with Packages embodies similar artistic style as Paul Hill's Absolute Uncertainty. Both sculptures are created through assembled metal and represent human form. These pieces both share a vertical thrust of direction and are topped with abstract forms of a head. While Hill's sculpture is largely geometric in shape, Bourgeois' piece is formed of organic shapes with soft, rounded edges. Perhaps Bourgeois used these rounded shapes to enhance the figure's femininity. Both sculptures elicit the viewer's attention and interpretation through their abstract, mysterious forms.
