Oil Paint - Framed
In A Distant Hope, Anne draws from the Romantic school of thought popular during Mary Shelley’s time and uses nature as a metaphor for the Creature's internal state. Yellow flowers symbolize his desire for human connection, yet the dark sky and ominous shape of the branches indicate it will not be so simple. The woodland path cuts through the trees, but its destination is unclear, evoking a sense of mystery and causing us to wonder what the future holds for the Creature.
