This is a young girl whose heart has been broken a few times. I don't think she is that much older than 20. She is a very pretty girl, but I think she is heart broken. I feel like she has given her heart to people who have returned it in awful conditions. I think the mechanical heart symbolizes repair. I think the heart is trying to repair itself but is having a hard time. None of the gears or mechanics look like they belong together, so I am thinking that she she had to keep repairing her heart in different ways to keep it from completely falling apart. There is a large crack on the bottom right side that looks like it won't ever repair. I think she might be permanently hurt by someone or something. The red swirls on the bottom and top may be there to make it look nicer, but I think they represent the blood escaping from the broken heart.
"A FIN" written underneath I think might mean finished or end. She is done having broken hearts and wants it to be over. I think she cares a lot about who she trusts now and who she is willing to give her heart to.
Hey, Samantha.
ReplyDeleteNice work. The way in which you interpret n' read this body-text is defniatley steeped in specific values n' ideas. The portrayl of love is romantic, rather than pragmatic (income oriented)....and seeped in western notions of romance.
An indepth anaylsis--I'm excited to see what you write for the project!
I like your observation Sam. I never would have thought to take this route... I probably would have concluded that she put this on her bady for sintemental values as well. I also like the point you made about the swirls at the bottom being the blood escaping from the heart. very cool!
