At the center of this intriguing work is a voyeuristic vision of a beautiful lady sitting pensively in candlelight on a stormy night. We gaze into her boudoir through the web of windblown bamboo leaves and an elegant moon-window that is screened by nearly transparent bamboo blinds and a parted gauze curtain. These multiple visual barriers make her emblematic of an aesthetic ideal that is hard to attain. Her delicacy and solitude stand out in sharp relief against the natural turbulence that surrounds her.
