Ophelia Unaware

Artwork Title: Ophelia Unaware
Artist: Lily Topham
Artist Statement:

The hands pulling the masked girl underwater were not added with any intent of a meaning; but I feel as if they help to show her lack of a struggle. Even in her last, seemingly peaceful moments of life, she isn’t allowed to be by herself, leaving life in a peaceful manner. Along with the dark water, the hands help to sort of portray the mindset of Ophelia; mad with grief, driving her to her death.
