Loss of Innocence

Innocence is purity, ignorance and unknowing.

Innocence can be lost. Innocence is ignorance, so when a person experiences and learns they begin to lose that innocence. Their purity becomes tainted and their innocence is lost.

-The woman who is naked symbolizes her innocence. She is innocent and doesn’t know that being unclothed is wrong. The others in the picture are trying to cover up the woman to remove her purity.

-Around the women it is bright, but outside of that it is dark. The darkness in the picture is somewhat creeping into the light. This shows that the darkness is losing innocence trying to steal away the woman’s innocence.

-The man has black wings. Wings are often something thought of as innocent and angelic, but the darkness of the wings show that he no longer has his innocence.
