real depression caused by certain situation in this case the HIV which is now living in her blood. She is seated on somewhat red blanket, an indication of extreme pain. The colours yellow, green and white are a portrayal of HOPE. Although this young troubled woman is in deep pain, there's still hope behind her, but she has to let go of the pain and look back in order to realize that there's still some light to rekindle her ambitions, self-esteem as well as her dying hopes. The moon hasn't set behind the blue mountains yet, but she needs to take just a little glimpse at it. There's still hope for a better life despite the current unpleasant situation. She needs to raise her head up and see possibilities that exist
