Francesca Woodman: Untitled

Francesca Woodman’s work is dark, surreal, and sexual.  This image is dark and surreal, but not sexual.  It screams hell and feelings of being trapped through motion and the chaos of the composition.  But not hell in the sense of Dante’s Inferno- more like Hell on earth.  The setting is clearly a room, the glass enclosing is recognizable, and the form is clearly human.  This figures life has become hell.
