I have tried to show the cleansing of one's soul through this illustration.
If you ask me I don't know what it means, but on some level I know that it can occur due to an experience that brings forth strong emotions that completely transforms you mentally.... making you stronger.
To quote a friend who unknowingly has given the perfect explanation to my sketch:
"that transformation from being scared...to accepting... and gathering courage... and finally, LETTING IT GO....that's the journey that makes everything worth gold"
