Gottfried Helnwein

I think that this picture is that life is a climb. A man is climbing down a person's nose. I think that the artist was trying to portray that no matter in life you are going to have obstacles in your way. You shouldn't let things get in your way. Yes, I believe that this is an artistic image and a documentary image. This image has an important message to it, about achieving your dreams and doing what you think is important. The man is really small and is climbing down while the girls face is zoomed in and shows almost half of her face. I think this can show how there are little things in life that can get in the way of us achieving what we want. No matter what there are people who are going to knock you down.
