Eleanor Rigby


Student work with the daunting task of creating an image that represents a Beatles song. While music can very easily inspire visuals, capturing the essence of an entire song with a single image can be very difficult. I've always enjoyed how quickly and hauntingly the story Eleanor Rigby is told, the most disturbing idea of which is how she is "wearing a face that she keeps in a jar by the door."
