now more than a hundred years later this image rich work has been interpreted by artist sara barkat in a manner that combines both philosophical thought and visual intrigue sometimes understood as feminist literature sometimes understood as exploring mental illness and sometimes understood as both at the same time this story is oddly poetic even when it is chilling and challenging the tale contains subtexts that touch upon the nature of imagination as well as the act of writing and the artist has enhanced these subtexts with the inclusion of victorian flower symbols such as thistle for independence and lupine for imagination watch too for the appearance of some of history s most imaginative art refashioned and in dialog with the story at hand which gives a sense of timelessness and broader societal import to the tale
