I find this image by Erika Raberg both disturbing and really beautiful. The childhood iconography of a child with a bunch of balloons is something that you associate with being innocent and angelic, but this photograph radically alters your perception of that image in an instant. Even though all that is vi sable is the balloons and the tiny feet poking out of the bath, you know exactly what is being depicted. I think that you could draw multiple messages from this image, such as the death of a persons childhood etc. I actually find this image strangely beautiful and not at all sinister.
