More about this drawing . . .

 In this drawing, the subject is flying upside down, held up by birds who pull her along with golden strings (the forces that hold our world together). Her arm and leg begin to fall when two of the strings are broken. This indicates a state of transformation such as starting to fall asleep, entering a deeper state of meditation, or dying - where she transcends the weight of the world and senses a new and lighter freedom. Her eyes are open, she is on the verge of something, she is upside down and does not have her bearings . . . but all is OK.
