Response to image by Gottfried Helnwein

What do you think is going on here? 

I think that Helnwein is trying to represent somebody "fixing" and changing a face. 

  Is this an artistic image or a documentary image (or both)? Is the image Photoshopped?

In my opinion, this piece is an artistic image because it is photoshopped and edited to create an emotional piece.

 Try to assign meaning to the image. What do you think the photographer's intent was? 

The photographer's intent was to prove that we as a society constantly change ourselves. 

What does the image say to you?

To me, this says that we need to be able to be okay with ourselves and become satisfied with the way we are with out alteration.


 How does the difference in scale between the man and the girl's face add to your interpretation of the photograph.

The girls face is like the "canvas" that the man is changing.
