Images inspired by Shakespeare quotes. Image Explanation 1) I saw the tree as a metaphor for life, it’s abundance of leaves symbolising life’s fruitfulness, whilst the branches reminded me of arms and hands and long, witch-like fingers, wrapping themselves around the tree, into it’s evil clutches. They had a foreboding quality and suggested to me the ‘ill’ that comes as part of life. The ‘hand’s’, coming out of the ground, looked like they were trying to pull the tree down, whilst the tree, erect and soaring upwards towards the sky, represented the idea that the good in life overcomes the bad. Image Explanation 2) The tubs of money stacked prominently high in front of the watching audience, whilst the man played guitar, indicated that he was neither prepared to borrow or lend; visibly working for his money.
