The bird, often associated with freedom and flight, represents the desire for liberation. The northern cardinal is the official state bird of Massachusetts, the place where the artist found herself and escaped to. The missing chess pieces of a chess board signify breaking free from constraints or societal norms, allowing for personal growth and exploration.
