This image is called peace. Except its not the feeling that I get from it. When I look at it I feel a sense of meloncholy to best discribe it. Its like I feel this sense of darkness that is hovering over me. I think that Everton creates the feeling through the depth and shadow that is so evident in this image. The depth entices you to feel distant and I think that when you feel distant you feel alone. You feel hopeless and sad. With the dark space that has been created with shaddow takes up the whole image, almost swallowing the woman.




Again this image by Samantha Everton is an image of a woman submersed in water however she is not completely underwater. Her head is still above the water. The woman's body language appears to be tense in a calm way. The woman looks as if she is just swimming, clamly emersing herself in the water, splashing about. In this image the woman is dressed in a pale blue dress, possibly suggesting her frame of mind or just to give the image more meaning. However I don't know what that meaning is yet.







This image by Samantha Everton depicts an image of a young woman, submersed in water. Her eyes are closed and her body is clam. She seems very relaxed almost as if she is sleeping and as she is submersed underwater she is shut out from the world. Water can be interpreted in so many different ways, including the subconscious and it also brings a cleansing nature to it. The image is very raw as you can see the girls face and nothing is hidden everything is there for you to see. Unlike a Tom Chambers work that the identity if often hidden. As the water and her body language reflect that idea of the subconscious, I really think that this work explores the subconscious. As when you are under water you are in a different world, nothing sounds the same you can talk, you can't see you and relaxed. As I think that when you are sleeping (an element of subconscious) you feel all these things.
