Work by Gottfried Helnwein

This is a photo of a rock climber, climbing up the center of a woman's face. The woman has a blank stare as the climber scales her face. I think that the climber is is a metaphor for someone trying to figure out what is going on in her mind, they are working so hard to get to the top (or her deepest emotions that she is hiding behind her expressionless face). This is an artistic image that has been altered in photoshop. I think the artists intent was to show how hard people are willing to work and how far they will go for what they want to know or for the people they care about. The difference in scale shows how big people's problems can be and how far people would have to go into their past or into their minds to actually help them.
