Barbara Kruger - Day One

Day One

I believe this photograph has a lot of meaning to it. To me, it says that your body goes through a lot of trials. The trials turn you from one kind of person to another. You learn from it and change because of it. I also see it as a 'Before and After' picture. The left side is who you are before you had all the trials in your life and the left is the outcome of the trials. The right side looks fiercer to me than the left side too. This says to me that the trials you have gone through makes you tougher and stronger as well. The difference between them isn't too huge, but you can definitely tell the change between them. Another detail I noticed is that she kind of looks two faced. It seems like she has had to put up a guard for herself to protect her from these trials as well. I could interpret many different meanings to this picture, but I believe those are the main meanings behind it.
