The female figure is a symbolic representation of a young teenage mind. With wondering, confused eyes, looking out to her surrounding stars and galaxies, representing all the unknown emotions and obstacles that she has encountered and yet to be battled with. The black hole is located in the chest, near her heart, where we assume all our heartbreaks, pain and happiness is felt. Why is it a black hole? Because these emotions are so complex and exotic to her that it doesn't have a name, or can be named and defined. So magically endearing and msyterious that its like the undiscovered world in the black hole. These are all based off her free flowing mentality, analysing all that before her eyes watching any signal, but is she overdoing it? Knowing too much and assuming something that may not be there? It feels as if the stars she saw was the truth, unless its glow was too subtle for it to be certain. She wonders, were they all just masked sensations that are not at all as complicate as she perceived it as, or did she just lock the knowledge away to learn the truth was disguised under the lie.
