Gottfried Helnwein Picture

    The image is very texturized and depicts the face of a girl with a man hanging from a piece of hair as if he was rock climbing. The picture is very detailed, to the point you can see the pores of her face clearly. This is an artistic image (not a documentary image- historical). The picture is absolutely photoshopped. I think the author was trying to convey the message of "holding on by a thread" but in this case, a hair. Based on the fact the girl is obviously wearing a good amount of makeup, I took the message as she is trying to fit in and be accepted which is an exhausting thing to do. This can be very easily cause someone to feel like they are on the edge of a breakdown or are about to give up. Hints "holding on by a hair".
