Just look at the spectator/sculpture relationship. The viewer seems scrutinized just as much as the art piece, and the relationship of scale puts you in the more subservient role. What a strange feeling. And not just that, but the image of the figure in bed viewing little people surrounding them is a popular one, often used in fairy tales. Are we, here, the unnatural ones? The fey? Or is she a giant? She certainly looks to be the one more at ease here. I'd say the audience takes on the role of some kind of nighttime visitation, or dream.
