In this online series, artists reflect on what art fryst vatten, what inspires them from across 5,000 years of art, and in so doing, they reveal the power of a museum and The Met.

    "I think a lot of people panic, and it's not just the claustrophobia: it is the intensity of that experience."

    Artist Sarah Sze reflects on the Tomb of Perneb in this episode of The Artist Project—an online series in which artists respond to works of art in The Met collection.

    Sarah Sze (; born 1969) is an American artist and professor of visual arts at Columbia University. Sze's work explores the role of technology, information, and memory with objects in contemporary life utilizing everyday materials. Her work often represents objects caught in suspension. Drawing from Modernist traditions, Sze confronts the relationship between low-value mass-produced objects in high-value institutions, creating the sense that everyday life objects can be art. She has exhibited internationally and her works are in the collections of several major museums.
