Project 2 >> Narrative


"a young woman who lives through the tales told in books as the world moves by"

Painting >>
The image in the painting seems quite timeless in that the woman is standing still whilst the urban setting around her is passing by. Also, the hopelessness expressed in her face reflects perhaps and expectation she has which never eventuate.
Art Critics have commented that the painting it placed in a "setting that generates discomfort", reflecting an "alienation of her relation to the world of function".

Narrative/Explanation >>
A very comfortable reading space in a small portion of a very vast, empty and vacuous space reflectin an empty cold reality, where reading forms a means of escapism.
The woman finds comfort in her reading, which takes her into another world, which seems more real and fulfilling than her own.
