Ophelia on the Rock
43cm high x 18cm wide x 9cm deep
Chlorite with Limestone base
Inspired by Hamlet Act IV, Ophelia walks in sorrow on the rocks about to perish.
Ophelia on the Rock
You are but a vapour in Hamlet’s dark world
On the periphery of perfection.
A foolish form of a silly young girl
Without his favour, nor affection.
Finding residence in the hollows of your heart
Alone on these rocks from this pain you depart.
M. Vidalin, 2002
