     Tim Walker's imagery above denotes a single girl with an seemingly blank expression. She has her lips slightly parted, and her eyes are staring into an unclear direction. She is wearing a glittering top that is catching the lights around her. The small mirrors on her chest are different colors from the reflection. She is positioned in a corner in which her body is touching the lit up walls. The glow from the walls are shining on her face and body. The colors are rainbow colored. The girl's hair is overpowering, large on her head and curly.
   The blank expression on her face connotes the feeling of being lost in a large place where she should be having fun or "partying". The fact that she is positioned in the corner makes her seem like a loner. Her gaze in that directions makes her look like she wants to be a part of something else. Her attire lets us know that she went out to a club type setting where it's dark and glittering clothes are all that's seen. The overdone hair shows that she tried, put effort into her appearance. The way her body language comes off, this image connotes someone that put effort into her looks, expecting to have fun, but instead is alone.


Another of Tim Walker's work. The photograph denotes a female who is dressed to go to a special occasion. The length of her dress is short and the color is bright pink. She is holding several balloons that appear to be lifting her. She is in a city during the daytime. Her left arm is carrying an abnormally large jar of perfume. The buildings around her all look similar and she is standing on a rooftop. The sky is pale.

This image connotes a woman who is ready to be carried away. The slight lifting of her feet connotes that she is light enough to be taken away from the ground. Her dress is short, which means the occasion she is going to is not very formal, but more of a party. The perfume tells us that she is feminine, where she is going, she wants to be noticed from her scent and the bright color of her dress. The similarity of all the buildings connotes "regularity" and "boredom" if you will. Tim Walker portrays her as someone who wants to get away and go someplace where there is fun.

  1. I love the first picture so much! The girl is stirring at something with a netual face expression. Even though she has not any face expressions, we can read she is with some hope for a certain thing. That's what exactly the title means !

  2. Really cool guy. I like the first image, because it seems like the girl pictured is in an altered state of mind, like she is overwhelmed and yet tired of the part scene. Very cool.

  4. This art is really interesting, I like the fantasy behind it all. It is very imaginative and makes it seem like as if it could be real. It also sorta reminds me of a modern sort of club seen or a more edgy side of life, which is also cool.
