Dream No. 42- Grete Stern

Dream No.45: Untitled, Grete Stern,1949

I was captivated by this photo- I've personally always been interested in the idea of being trapped, whether it be in your own mind, or physically, as this woman is. What's perhaps even more interesting is the fact that she doesn't look the slightest bit bothered by the cage that she is stuck in. This might imply oblivion- the idea that she's caught in this life of sophistication that might in fact be harmful to her, but she's too far gone to realize how encaged she is in this life she's been given.
