Respond to Gottfried Helnwein

My description of this image is there is a half a face of a young girl that has a guy hanging by a rope that looks like he is climbing up her face. I think this image would be an artistic image. I would think the image isn't photoshopped because it does look like a painting, but it could be photoshopped because of how zoomed in they are to the girl's face and having the guy really small. The meaning of this image I think is just keep climbing until you reach the top of surface. Don't never stop yourself from reaching your goal. The photographer's intent was to maybe inspire others. The image say's to me that you should never give up on yourself. The difference scale between the man and the girl's face adds to my interpretation is the man is not afraid of doing challenges by climbing a girl's face.
