The bakers are clearly people of a much lower caste and it is represented in the clothes they wear, so this begs the question of what does this painting actually mean. Upon further inspection it became clear that the image makes you question the true importance of social class and the restrictions it has on people. When thinking about my idea I wondered if maybe looking into the past of the painting would give me more insight into the meaning behind it. Through my research I found that painting was acquired by the MET in 1927 from the Fletcher fund.…

    There is a deep meaning to this visual that conveys a negative vibe. As Goldsworthy is speaking of the symbolism of his creation, he states that the water around the sculpture represents changes in our lives.

A few viewers may hold the belief that the stone sculpture in the ocean actual symbolizes something on a more idealistic level. It could be demonstrating endurance and survival through hardships because the sculpture never disintegrated within the length of the film.…
