At the entrance of the dA museum, through the door way, a painting stood out to me instantly. This bazaar painting by Athena H. Hahn is called Not Thinking of.... As I stood in front of this painting I can't help but ask myself, why the heck would anyone lay down in between two train tracks, in the middle of nowhere. Seriously.
However, as I think more about the painting I wonder to myself what if the painting was actually suppose to be symbolic instead of just a women stranded in the middle of no where?
 In the painting there were two cars that drove right passed this poor and tattered looking women. Why  would no one stopped to help or asked if this women was alright? Maybe the meaning behind this painting is that people are so busy caring about themselves that they don't think of others in need?
It's very obvious, this women looked injured: her shoulder blade and ankle looks scraped up. She is bare foot and look pretty much like a bum. However, this women have a nicely bun up hair do and a nice pair of jeans. 

 The criteria that Rosenberg would say about this painting, is that the road and cars look pretty parallel with one another. The road is not expanding towards the skies. The lines on the painting makes the miles of endless roads looks real and forever.
