  • Support I agree with Hafspajen. This painting is even more intriguing because of what Hafs said. It sort of reminds me of another painting. Same sort of concept. There is a little girl sat down in front of a big television, She is watching a scary horror movie, but she watches the movie not by looking at the television screen. She has a good sized hand mirror. She only watches the movie as it appears in the mirror. She figures the monsters cannot travel into the mirror and then get to her. It is a very multi-dimensional theme much like this painting. Cheers! WordSeventeen (talk) 02:34, 11 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
