The Landromat - Edward Hopper
I picked up on a number of emotions in Edward Hoppers 'The Laundromat' such as isolation, loneliness and depression. She is sitting alone at a Laundromat and yet there is an empty chair opposite her which may suggest she is waiting for someone, or it may symbolise a loss. Her sullen expression as she has her head down towards the table suggests that she is depressed for some reason. I also found that there was a slight sense of voyeurism in that we appear to be looking at her during her everyday life, yet through the eyes of another person. With this in mind and my own imagination the sentence I came up with is:
"Dwelling for a short voyeuristic widow, with a fetish for photographing children"
Basically she is a depressed 45 year old widow who has developed a peculiar fetish for taking photos of other people’s children as she can no longer have her own. She is living her life through the photos of others and so she spends all of her time devoted to either observing her photos or taking new photos of children. She resides in a ‘dwelling’ that is conveniently located nearby a park.
