3. Cold

4. This picture depicts cold on many different levels. First, because of the flurry of snow that is surrounding the subjects, their clothing, and the cold blue push of the light. The elements of the picture are suggesting a cold time, where everything is made of ice and unyielding to the warmth. There is a hint of a sunrise through the window trying to let the sun seep in, but the snow doesn’t cease and the coldness of the blue takes over. Secondly, the theme of cold is mirrored in Elsa (the  subject in the foreground)’s face. She’s cutting herself off from the warmth in Anna (the other subject)’s open arms and expression and freezing herself from anything else. She is isolated, and unyielding to others, like a frozen tundra. Cold often has two sides: the biting crudeness of its feeling, and sadness. Both of these feelings are expressed through the lighting, color, and expressions of the subjects.
