I did some research on this artist and I noticed that most of her works have a very gloomy, depressing feel to them and also look very robotic. In addition to that, the works are all set in a virtual space. This piece, according to the artist, is a self portrait as captured by herself. It looks like she is a snow queen in this piece. As I mentioned earlier, the background is, in my opinion, incredibly depressing. Her facial expression, standing posture, and her icy exterior really go with the background. It is as if she almost blends in with her surroundings.
In one of the interviews, she says snow was her "very first toy, before Legos", and she also says that she makes snow homes, people and often underground tunnels, "which are nice and warm inside." I guess this piece is very symbolic in a way. Her icy exterior might push people away but, to quote the artist " its nice and warm inside." There is always a story in her art, and there are lots of little elements that need to be discovered to understand the whole picture.
