I feel like we've entered Elf Land, for some reason. Intriguing image.

Man, Woman? I donĂ¢€™t think it matters.
I have to ask, is that a fancy coat, or something hanging on, or coming out of the chest, depends on perspective I guess.
Divine in your title narrows interpretation, allow the viewers of your art to form their own story.
Before I read your title, my imagination read that a girl from the future, brought back to her past, contemplates roads not taken.

I do like the light beaming through the rafters. Very evocative.

Neat shot. Reminds me of turn of the century prison shots for some reason.

As though she's not quite real yet - a mannequin being transformed into a girl by a beam of energy.

This is very silent movie. The shoulder pads strike me as a primitive astronaut outfit akin to Buck Rogers or Flash Gordon. Notice the face is almost obliterated by ecstasy. Note also it is a dispassionate ecstasy, a strange but familiar mix of emotionlessness and spiritual intensity. And of course, note how the divinity of light can only begin to be approached by couching it in a luxurious, overreaching darkness.

The ideas here are so simple, yet so strange. For me, it's blissful to look at.
