Untitled © Gottfried Helnwein (1993)

Best Interpretation: “…It seems to me that the faith of the Subject for her broken and imperfect child/link to God, is what makes this piece so strong (just like the affection a child would have for its one-eyed teddy bear). The choice of rendering in a fifteenth century religious painter style, elevates the fragile quality of life that haunts us in the hint of death. The visceral transience of our fleshy shells is held against the perfection of religious ideals to be interpreted by the atheist and believers alike.” -Duncan Reid

The Persistence of Memory © Salvador Dali (1931)

Best Interpretation: “What the beginning, end or warp of time represents and means, is beyond me. In dreams, we go to a place, which runs on a different time clock. In this dreamland, time is not linear. The past, present and future are all one.”- Cathy Lo
