The image posted is of a rock climber and a rope going up a pale woman's face. She has blue eyes, and seems really young? Like 6-7? I believe it's an artistic image, and seems photoshopped. I can't quite put my finger on the meaning of the piece, but if I absolutely had to, it'd probably be something deep like how the man metaphorically is having a difficult time maybe trying to control his daughter? I'm not sure. The child also looks very pale and sickly, so maybe it could be that the man is trying to hold on to her when she's dying.
