landscape/cloudscape collage

Collage inspired by 2 Sylvia Plath quotes from The Bell Jar:

I had removed my patent leather shoes after a while, for they foundered badly in the sand. It pleased me to think they would be perched there on the silver log, pointing out to sea, like a sort of soul-compass, after I was dead. ~Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar, Chapter 12


I took a deep breath and listened to the old bray of my heart: I am, I am, I am. ~Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar, Chapter 20


Pretty literal take on the first, looking out at the sea in a suicidal moment, the wood itself might symbolize the log, the thunderheads rolling in bringing storm, the sea green and calm and beautiful, a long walk of space at the base to think about the finality of it, which brings in the second quote.
