Lovliest angel of my dreams -- your unreality is so beautiful it challenges raw reality with its exquisite hope and ultimate meaningfulness -- such visions cause me to go on and on in sleep -- to dread the morning of looking away.

Syrie, the atmosphere here is over the top! I love the dark, edgy, somewhat creepy feel here. Almost like watching a 20's silent horror flick. Your portfolio is unique, to say the least. I find it very interesting, and you go straight into my "friends", so I can continue to enjoy your fine work. ...Brad

This image certainly is not lacking in mood.
There is a very strong film noir feeling with this image. The background is dark with only a hint of detail and mystery.
There is also a classic feel to the image. The focus is soft and with the flare in the corner, I am reminded of the early days of photography.
The subject?s garment is reminiscent of a toga. It is draped around the body giving the body shape and definition amidst the soft focus.
Initially, I thought the subject, which is apparently the photographer, was bending over reaching for something. This reminded me of a portrayal of a muse. However, my initial impression was incorrect. Rather the subject is bent over backwards. This certainly changes the way I look at this image.
The subject is bent over backward and contorted. This certainly does not imply a peaceful muse. Rather there is an awkwardness, or indeed torture, that the subject goes through. The dark tones and the soft focus certainly aid in a sinister theme.
Yet there is a counter point to this. The intense flare in the corner. This flare merges with the subject?s head. The head is the center for will. With this flare, the head nearly explodes with light.
Being educated in the West, I read going left to right. I use this to understand this image. Going from the left, the body is twisted and contorted in the darkness of the environment that surrounds it. However, I finish at the light, the explosion and triumph of the individual will. This interpretation is supported by the angles of the torso and arms as they pull the eye to the light.
