Under the Lighthouse
In Virginia Woolf’s novels the sea is at once
consoling and terrifying. The sea can also be
regarded as a metaphor for the passage of time
– the changes in tides, in temperature, colour
etc.). The colour red in the young girl’s bathing
costume is symbolic of the changes in her body at
puberty and so are the diaphanous changes of her
body in the photographs as she continuously tries
to surface until her body regains stability. The
intentional use of old photographs also stresses
the passage of time.
The model was in her teens when she was
photographed and is now a mother
of three children, her first born
is a daughter who is now on
the threshold of puberty, thus
the cyclical aspect of
adolescence continues.
