`The Last Girl
My viewpoint changed because I thought an image was of a man climbing on a girls face. In a way, that is still the case but he's not physically photoshopped onto her face and climbing it. He's installing a gigantic piece of art and needs to climb up it. The picture itself is of a young girl and only her hair and head is visible and it fills the page. The image is in the process of being installed onto a huge wall on a building in Ireland. There is a man, who is extremely tiny in comparison to the giant picture, on a cord which is hopefully also holding him with a harness. He must be climbing it to help install it. They must have made it so big as to make sure people never forget her picture. It seems to be in a city but not in the middle of it. It looks to be in a run down part because there is graffiti on the upper parts of the building the girls image is on. The expression on the girls face seems rather blank or with barely any emotion. The title might be referencing to some...

The image shows a close up of a girl's face to where you can see all the tiny details of it. It also shows a small man hiking up her face as if it were a mountain and he has made it to about the top of the bridge of her nose. This is an artistic image that shows something pretty surreal and it could not happen in the real world. That being said, the image is photoshopped. The photographers intent was to create an image that looks realistic but also different and blurs the lines of reality. The huge difference in scale adds to my interpretation because they either wanted the woman to be giant or the man to just be abnormally tiny and that contributes to blurring the lines of reality.
