However, she says that she does not try to accurately portray reality or send a message about it, but simply to focus on human feelings and present these emotions in her work. In this painting, the subject is a woman who is looking off into the distance as she removes her shirt. The background is a field of bright red divided by a single horizontal black line, which contrasts with the light blue of the woman’s shirt. The expression on the woman’s face is calm – perhaps a little surprised, but mostly at peace. She is disrobing herself, completely comfortable with showing her body and being vulnerable.
