The theme here is ~ 'being surrounded by beauty but filled with misery on the inside.' As you can see she's not being pushed into the water, as is you would expect but instead she wants to jump, to escape the misery of her life as a captive at sea.
In a way this relates to the Greek myth of Cassandra (whose name means - bringer of doom) who had a tragic, untimely death brought on by her own madness. There's also a song about a girl named Cassandra who left on a ship after the death of her sister and father so obviously, the name fit well.
I've considered writing a story based on this climatic image. Maybe I will one day.

Favorite comment to date: Your gallery is just AMAZING!!! I cannot believe your talent. I had to this image because I love the story behind it, plus it is just so peaceful. Great job!! ~enteringmymind
The colours you used are so beautiful and I like the topic of the picture, because on the one hand everything seems so calm and beautiful and on the other hand she has to jump (I guess)...
I also like the idea how you did your signture in this picture!^_^
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
