What this piece portrays can be mistaken as rather blunt. By composing the title against the obvious symbols, the plane juxtaposed to look as though it's leaving the face of the woman and the fact that the face is no longer even present, the immediate interpretation tends to be that this is a piece of liberation and security. However, I hope the eye continues to ponder as you may begin to question why she still holds the cloth to cover herself and the context at which the helmet may be necessary. Her physical form is still rather secure and protected, even caged, so then what of her is being left behind? This is a piece of ego death, yet only of the mind. It should remain a tranquil piece, however not a freedom in its totality. 

The sides of the painting are the remains of the work that previously inhabited the canvas, showcasing a spotted pattern. It comes ready to hang.
