Heroin
Guðrún Arndís Tryggvadóttir 1986

"At first glance, it's as if the heroin is riding at full speed. She is on a small square island (Iceland) and pretends to be a hero, but is actually trying to hold the pose of the prone horse that sputters to try to get back on all fours. The hero has fallen, as she would not have made it far anyway due to the small size of the island. Everything outside the narrow beach in the picture is the ocean."
