This will be a topic that gets rehashed repeatedly, I'm sure, as will fluffy bunnies and cotton candy.
This photo is by Li Hui. The haunting figure is reminiscent of the tragic heroine, young, innocent and brutally treated. The glowing figure could be a vengeful ghost or a seductive selkie.
This fabulous bride is a group project from Niroir Noir. The horror and destruction of what should be a joyous occasion is highlighted by the stark color palette and the chunky brushstrokes. This one reminds me of Bluebeard's newest wife.
The next piece by Anselm Kiefer is a simple interior, but the brooding colors cast an air of foreboding on the scene. The horizon fades on us, which is unusual for an interior space. This manipulation of the environment creates a rather surreal environment. To me it could easily be the Ice Queen's throne room, or the White Witch's hall, but I'm not sure Jadis would go for the clerestory windows.
