The Queen of Swords and The Deep Blue Sea

[qos]

I found this while doing some Google image searches yesterday, and fell in love. It speaks so eloquently to my struggles over the past few years.






Unfortunately, there wasn't an artist's credit attached.



(As I preview this, it looks like it's not too big -- but if it distorts your friends page, let me know and I'll put it behind a cut.)

wow, perfect for you.

Nice. A bit like a revisioning of the Sorcerer's Apprentice.

Oo, the style and the composition, and her forlorn expression... it's beautiful and achy at the same time. Great find.

Hmm. . . not something I'd associated with it. I was more thinking of the literal flooding of the old house, plus the intense emotional tides of the past year. No matter how big and/or effective my sword, it's not much use against rising waters.

Yes. . . there's not much even the most accomplished swordswoman can do in the face of rising tides.

Amazing, isn't it???

I was thinking of the moment when Mickey realizes he can't control the whole mess that's in process around him. Sort of the same association, just from a different angle. (And of course I haven't watched the movie for years.)
