The image centers on a young woman, about 24, set indoors. She stands out in fashionable black attire, contrasting the predominately greyscale backdrop. Black and grey shades infuse the scene with a somber mood. Several candles are in the background, with one's flame particularly prominent, adding a rare burst of color. While she holds nothing, her positioning before the candles implies a ceremonial or ritualistic theme. The overall feel of the image is enigmatic and possibly somber.
