"Her Catching"
oil on canvas

Additional view:

Without the hook, Her Catching would be a peaceful and sensual image; with the hook, it becomes disturbing, suggesting the danger and potential violence of personal relationships. The title reinforces the metaphor of fishing, in which the female "catch" can become a trophy, be consumed, or be released (damaged) after the fight.
