Dying
Is an art, like everything else.
I do it exceptionally well.
- Sylvia Plath
On February 10, 1963 Sylvia Plath was found dead of carbon monoxide poisoning in her kitchen. Plath had placed her head in the oven, while the gas was turned on and the pilot light unlit. She was 30.
Will be part of my literary suicide series.

What kind of a sick and demented person would execute such an idea?!
I love it. And, it's educational too.
Sarah Ann Loreth (34 months ago | reply)
Haha story of my life Starling Lee Brown.
The oven was disgustingly dirty too. Ruined a perfectly good vintage dress and gloves.

i wanted to do a photo like this, but the idea of laying in the oven scared me.
i'm glad you were brave enough, becuase its awesome!

I really like this. It's very well composed (perhaps an ever so slightly looser crop would have lent the image more punch) and has a nice narrative dimension
