Gottfried Helnwein Questions

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.
