A New Ophelia is a new take on the story of Shakespeare's Ophelia. Ophelia, struggling across the sharp stones of the path of her life collapses before her final hurdle, a large wall of rocks separating her from peace. Red poppies trail in the water behind her, a request to the viewer not to forget her.
