Upon first glance, the viewer may assume the insular, snow-globe-like atmosphere is one to marvel at from the outside. However, the encasing around this calm, undisturbed woman is not an invitation to more attention, but a protection from it. The transparent shield is intended to display a “spiritual biosphere” conducive for stillness, serenity, and solitude that must be protected at all costs. Visually, attention is drawn to the specific body parts that correspond with a rich, pondering meditation: a relaxed face, an unclenched hand, and a “thinker” like pose evoking Rodin’s famous statue. Intricate details like a reflective glow off the glass highlight the illumination of the soul that takes place in an intentionally curated environment.
