This image is all about loss to me. She is grieving, and utterly defeated. A very sad image, made so by the context, which is littered and empty. You say there is someone by her side. It is a memory. A very sad memory. And a very sad image.
I guess she is thinking really hard to try to remember someone, something, someday in her life that has long left but always there in her heart. She put her hands on her knees with great respect and faith, to pray..
Thank you Marnix. The caption reflected how I really fealt at the time. I followed this lady around, and she sat at several benches, and repeated this pose. I truly fealt a presence with her, and I am not a believer in such things.
