The Damsel

The Damsel tells the story of a woman wanting to be saved from being wanted. The woman is surrounded by dark and cool colors to give a sense of dread and entrapment. The light source at the center of her face and bleeding down her shoulder and hair highlights her broken emotion and the sensuality she portrays as a woman in a man's world. The cracks and scratches along her face reveal a sense of brokenness underneath beauty. Her dark stare avoiding the viewer shows unease and shame. Her upper body fills the frame to give the viewer a more intimate closeness to the woman; inviting her into her story so there is no mistake of her feelings and thoughts.
