I suspect it has something to do with her perspective on life. Clever.

I see a Juan Gris self portrait, complete with tuft of hair. Excellent use of the 'Serendipity Preset' on your new camera.

Thank you for the generous comment, Sofia.
The tree branch is hanging over a greenhouse, the plastic covering is coated with a shading compound. (the drips are paint on the plastic).
I was rushed in PS, so I used the one-click "Monday Morning" filter in Nik Color Efex to blow out the top of the greenhouse and erase the horizon. With more time I would use curve adjustment layers to create a similar effect - ideally keeping more of the vibrant red and focus in the flowers.

Wonderful job of giving the viewer an "observation of the observer" in a setting deserving a Twilight Zone script. "Adam and Eve after The War and Before The Apple" or "Jane Goodall Visits the Inner City".
It's unfortunate these stories, too often, get lost in a free study.
And, the empty bench had to be there. Of course. Everything in this photo had to be there.

b/w must mean we're back in Kansas. Great shot and title. Too bad about the ankles.

Edit to add: I just noticed the head is missing. I suppose, by comparison, the ankles are a minor faux pas.
