When looking at the work done by Sonia Kacem, in this day and age, you would think sculpture. The simple forms are made of light and thin material, some of which even being made of drapes hanging from the ceiling. When relating to Krauss' 'Sculpture in the Expanded Field', it is safe to say that he would disagree with the idea of these pieces being called sculpture.
Krauss' opinion is that sculpture is only sculpture if the piece functions in relation to where it is placed and the history behind it. For something like Sonia Kacem's work, which has no clear meaning or idea, it goes against Krauss' idea while still being recognized as sculpture in today's society.
