The birds represent our thought process, quickly moving from one place to the next. The coloration in her hair can represent the lasting impressions our ideas can have. In her reflection the stark monotone can represent the influences society has on an individuals creativity. The smoke in essence represents our ideas and thoughts being distracted or overshadowed, leaving a small glimpse of what was, or could have been.
