This image is one of my favourites, I think. It's really simple and a lot is going on. It's symbolic but in the end it's effective on an emotional level. The motif of the flies just came in as an idea and then it became important because of the same flies hovering over the little girl's head at the end. The idea of the eye staring back at you, is the conscience or whatever. I had a lot of different size pictures of horses, and it was a combination, but the hard thing technically here was to make the whole frame work without a lot of details, because you have the eye and this is simple but how do you get the feel of the flesh?
