The picture expresses hope and faith. The girl is full of joy, being able to embrace nature and freedom once more after the pandemic. The girl herself is a symbol of this future. Her arms are arched like the crescent moon. Her shirt bears a star-like flower which shows her purity before the universe. She leaps happily in a way that seems like she is defying gravity.
