The job of the artist is always to deepen the mystery ~ Francis Bacon

Art Daily!

Trapped.  Forlorn.  Long forgotten.  A distant memory.  Aching.  Regretting.  Lonely.  Quiet.  Looking out of window?  Through a mirror?  Trunk of tree? What thoughts swirl through her head?  How does she feel?  Why is she there in the first place?  Can she get out?  Escape?  Why has nobody come to rescue her?  Are there intermittent screams, wails, and moans?  Or is she mute?  I feel her despair.  Her anguish.  Her sorrow.
