"For those who have eyes to see ..." is a Universal Teaching that explains that clear vision is the goal of true perception. When the vision is obstructed, the ability to see and perceive, is not only affected but removed completely.
The figure is locked into position by the shapes and blocks of patterns, that represents social construct not aligned with the human being, such as body images not attainable by the normal woman. The blocks in the lower half of the picture are dissolving, suggesting that her role and situation is temporary. By looking over her left shoulder the picture is referring to a past unseen. The patterns and grids form organisational sequences, and is in this setting a symbol of a constructed situation.
