Morning Sun

Best Interpretation: “I think it’s about vulnerability, uncertainty and choice. She is above the bed covers, the window open, very little clothing, a minimal level of physical barriers between herself and the outside world. Yet by being within the constraints of room she is included in that outside world.
She faces directly into the sun, acknowledging the new day. The building outside representative of a structured society that exists for her. Is she a refreshed component of that rigid structure, the morning light capturing her essence before once more entering into a routine of compliance? Will she make a choice that leads down an entirely new path?” -Tony
