Oldenburg's "soft sculptures," characterized by their unconventional choice of materials such as vinyl and stuffed fabric, primarily represent everyday objects like typewriters, hamburgers, and clothespins in enlarged, often comical dimensions. Through this artistic concept, Oldenburg aimed to challenge conventional notions of art, blurring the boundaries between the ordinary and the artistic, and drawing attention to the potential absurdity in commonplace objects when taken out of context.
