The Doe represents Dana’s innocence and vulnerability during a time when she was emotionally entangled with those seeking to control her. With long flowing hair and soft lines, the doe is both a symbol of innocence and quiet strength. The hunter looms nearby, but the doe’s ethereal presence reflects Dana’s resistance to being fully broken. The painting captures the tension between the predator and prey, but also the strength of the doe as she refuses to be fully consumed by the darkness.
