Hoops

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The artwork, titled "Hoops" by artist Rick Owens, features a white dress form mannequin wearing a cage-like, tan-colored garment. The garment is made of numerous thin strips of material woven together to form a structured shape resembling a cage or basket. It has a wide, curved bottom that tapers towards the top and appears to be fastened around the mannequin's waist with long straps. The mannequin is positioned against a dark background, with only its torso visible.
