The photograph depicts women's negative self-image issues.

Women in society frequently have

insecurities as a result of how women are portrayed in children's media, such as Disney
princesses. According to the case study, Disney Princess Culture, “And, yes, Disney princesses
are getting more diverse, but they’re all still thin with big eyes and big hair and the dolls are
usually sold in dresses, even if they never wear those dresses in the movies.” An over-the-
shoulder camera angle gives the impression that the audience is looking at the girl's reflection
with her. The girl's reflection is hidden in the photograph, symbolizing her inability to find
herself, as well as her position in the shade rather than the sunlight. The camera angle portrays
the negative emotions she has towards herself, which allows the audience to empathize with her.
The dirty puddle represents how dissatisfied the girl is with herself. The girl kneeling
demonstrates how helpless she is as she is brought to her lowest point. However, the audience
can see sunlight surrounding her, indicating that there is still hope.
