Art abd the human condition

Salvador Dali's "Mae West" is a wonderful representation of the human condition.

Her eyes are paintings, the red mask is a wall, her skin is the hard wood floor, and her hair is curtains.

Firstly, we all play a character, we are a different person to different people. For example, one does not act the same around your apouse as one does with one's parents. One doesn't act the same at work as one does on the weekend.

Also, the aspects of the room used to depict the parts of her are revealing as well.

Her hair as curtains, representing the "beautiful" hair a woman is "supposed to have". Next, her red mask hiding the area around her eyes demonstrates humility. Lastly, her skin is hardwood; this shows the need for thick skin in life, regardless of gender.
