For my art work I used John William Waterhouses' painting "The Lady Shalott". From this painting I got a sense of suffering on her voyage downstream isolated in her boat. So I used a bird slowly swooping down almost like it falling out of the sky, representing her slow death. I also used a chain falling off the boat into the water and around her neck to show what is coming, kind of like an ominous reflection. As she slowly emerges from the water, Lady Shalott begins to disappear.
