"The Last Girl" :Gottfried Helnwein

         This image is of a young girl that looks to be around the age of 8. The image is a close up of the young girls face, which allows you to see each individual eyelash and see each strand of hair. The image of the girl is around the size of a 10 story building give or take. It's made up of 3 different sheets of latex or some sort of plastic, something that can withstand normal weather conditions. It's located in a urban/ industrial looking area. There looks to be some sort of factories next to the building where the image is. I think that the image is going to be seen by normal, everyday people. I don't think that it's intended for a certain group of people. The mood of the image is calm. The girl's facial expressions are kind of a relaxed/ blase look. I think that the size of the image adds a ton of meaning to the image. Seeing a little girl's face up in a city like that kind makes you wonder more about what the image is doing there. The title suggests that she is one of the "last" girls on earth. It could mean that children don't seem to be so pure/ innocent anymore and that they're losing their child-like mentality. The children are being corrupted by society and they don't have the child like characteristics anymore. It could also be to remind people of the natural world inside of a huge man made city. Maybe people have drawn away from the natural world and shifted to far to the man made world, which Helnwein could be trying to counteract this with "The Last Girl".
