The painting explores the idea of self-confidence and beauty standards.
Despite her wearing something that makes her feel as though she is radiating beauty and confidence, there is a cloud of uncertainty present (conveyed through the background). The intent behind this was to demonstrate how no matter what a woman feels about herself, there’s always a part of her that’s anxious about society’s perception of her and whether or not she meets unrealistic beauty standards.
