Morales’ presents a picture of a person submerged in water. The hair of the figure is illustrated with many lines, both thick and thin. The use of hair extending to the front of the frame through Morales’ line work creates both elements of depth and mystery. It adds a whimsical nature to an otherwise simple scene of a figure bobbing in the water. In addition, the hair cascading off the frame adds an element of mystery, as we wonder where it leads. The element of line generates great interest for the eye, and fleshes out an otherwise contained scene. Morales’ use of line through the main figure’s hair successfully creates an enchanting atmosphere, enhancing the composition of the piece.
