This photo depicts a young pale woman dressed in a black victorian gown holding roses. I infer that this woman could have possibly passed away. The almost transparent angel behind her is grasping the woman in a comforting fashion, possibly to let her know that it is alright for her to let go and move on. How the woman is grasping the roses, in my opinion, is the representation that she is not willing to let go of life just yet. In the background there is an almost church like structure that seems to be fading away. This is also a representation that the living plane is slowly fading away.
This picture inspires many clashing feelings. For example, the feeling of sadness and regret that the earthly life has been taken from her. With that said, because the angel is lighting up the darkness and comforts the women, feelings of hope and love surface.
It is a bittersweet representation of life after death.
