On Being An Angel 3/4

This video is a bit long and static but it features the photos of an incredible young artist named Francessca Woodman.  I got it in my head that Juliet is an artist and very sophisticated. In the balcony scene her thoughts are more nuanced than Romeo. Woodman was very young ,but her work was thoughtful and fully formed, she was about 20 when these photos were taken,

Tragically she committed  suicide when she was 22. I look at her work and I imagine these are the kind of pictures Juliet would take- self portraits but somehow removed and hidden.  (I don't think Juliet would be quite so comfortable with nudity)
