A woman and some shapes

I believe that this painting is about awareness: she is stocky and naked, signifying solidity, reliability and honesty, as well as perhaps vulnerability. Her eyes are closed and with one hand she senses the basic shapes below her: the physical world and its abundance. With the other she senses the worlds beyond. The psyche.
