Thanks very much, Alex. You always have such insightful responses. I have a feeling (although it is probably just a coincidence) that I might have had a subconscious response to the recent flu concerns and general environmental worries. I feel like this person is very much unformed - reminiscent of human being as they have been or as they have thought themselves, but growing aware of a changing and probably dangerous environment. The woman, inhaling, seems to be making a step toward coming to terms with and working with the new world, by placing her trust in, moving herself into, and taking in the atmosphere/environment by breathing. She is making the beginnings of a new, adaptable, and working relationship with the space in which she exists.
