This painting depicts time, beauty, and sensation as fleeting, yet memorable moments. The subject of this painting looks serenely into the distance while jagged spurts of colour rush down from her head to her torso. Her torso merges with the moving colours as to signify that she too, the tranquil girl, is fleeting. This painting suggests to audiences that time, memories, and moments are all ephemeral, however, their passing can be accepted as a beautiful recognition of what they once were, instead of a painful reminder that they are gone.
