The Lost Mariner

For the case of the Lost Mariner; taken from Oliver Sack's book, 'The Man Who Mistook his Wife for a Hat.' The Lost Mariner is an elder man, who's mind is trapped in his youth as a submariner. He is an older gentleman in 1975 but inside his mind he believes himself to still be his former 19 year old self in 1945 where he worked as submariner. I was interested in the concept of the submarine and how it half is exposed whilst half is submerged and this gave connotation of the human subconscious and i decided to include this some how in my image. The line acts as some sort of surface, of time or sea and separates the two dates and thus his states of mind and body.

Other avenues of the image, created before i settled on the former.
