The figure’s eyes look at viewers with a poignant but slightly distanced gaze. Even though the woman appears to share her most hidden emotions from the depths of her soul, she remains distanced and isolated. In her eyes, you can find something that resonates with your inner, hidden emotions—if you have ever felt lonely, misunderstood, and isolated. When you wanted to embrace the whole world but reality was as cruel as a burning Crimson Flame, you created a distance between yourself and others as self-protection, deep inside still screaming for help and support. This is all in the woman's eyes in the painting.
