In this piece, The Hunter is the representation of the oppressive forces Dana faced in relationships. He is painted as a figure lurking in the shadows, much like Captain Hook, attempting to dominate and ensnare the artist. His figure is old-fashioned, reflecting outdated views and controlling dynamics, where she was prey in the hunt for her light. Yet, even under the hunter’s oppressive gaze, the painting hints at resistance—the artist’s spirit refuses to be fully captured.
