the last girl

How does this change in viewpoint change your interpretation of the image? at first i thought the man was part of the painting but he is not. 

 What do you see? Describe it as if you were recounting it in detail to someone who had never seen it. Think about the scale--how could the size affect the meaning?  Think about the material, the logistics and engineering of mounting it.  Is it one contiguous image or is it spliced together or can't you tell? i see a little girl who is about nine years old who has dirty blonde hair and blue eyes. the picture is very large and that could be part of the message the picture is giving. the picture seems to have been installed in strips.

Think about the location--is it urban? Rural? Residential? Industrial? Given the image's location, who do you think will see the it? Who is the intended audience? Describe the mood of the image. What is the expression on the girl's face? Is it blase? Is it engaged? Is it optimistic? Wondering? Melancholy?  the location is industrial . there are very large buildings in the area and its right on the water so the people who see it will be people in boats. the mood seems to be a serious one because the girl looks like she is staring at the viewer and she is not happy about somethig.

Finally, consider the title "The Last Girl". What do you think the title suggests? perhaps something happened and she is the only one who survived
