The girl in the old bathwater soaks in her sorrows as she drifts off into her own world. The octopus acts as a symbol for parts of the girl that’s hidden. Octopuses are intelligent and playful, which reflects directly on her showing the audience the positive aspects of her personality. However, in this painting, we get to see two perspectives of the girl: one as the blues, the sorrowful expression on her face shows exhaustion and burnout; the other side is her extroverted bubbly personality.
