My interpretation of this artwork is somewhat different from that by Chanteur-de-Vent and FelixFFDS
There is nobody else. What we are presented with is a daydream, or maybe even a nightmare. Hangers, coats, and hats have no reason to be in a room like that, are nothing more than a product of imagination, being symbols of not being alone. This is what the character craves, to see a real sign, to know that there is somebody/something else other than bare walls and floor.
Is that goal reachable? Very unlikely I think, judging by the distance between the character and the pieces of clothing.
Does she realize how unlikely it is? I think yes, based on her posture and no evident signs of moving towards or trying to reach out for the craved signs. She is practically on the verge of giving up, if she hasn't given up already.
Is there hope? Yes, there is always hope, and I see it in the light coming in from the window. It is bright as the future could be, yet the colors are cold as the current state of loneliness is. Hope is there, but for now she needs to satisfy her craving and try to resist the deep sadness by means of daydreaming about signs and symbols.
I probably got it all wrong, but that is the beauty of your artwork: you allow the audience full freedom of interpretation.

Now that's starting to be creepy. You know this feeling moving through an empty house, while in a dream? When you know there's no one else, and yet signs of life are presented at every corner. You're enclosed, you can't move out of this house, you can only look at the signs. At the coats, at the tables, plates on those tables, beds made up. You know you're alone. You know there such a thing as a second person, but it's nowhere here. And you can't leave this place that only pretends to have life in it, to go find this other person.
I think she looks too dreamy to have be in such a place. It's empty, yes, but the coats are real. They belong to people. They're not there because she's alone and knows it. She would have been terrified if she knew she was alone for sure. At least I would be.

Aren't there plenty of reasons for ignoring a girl? I mean, think of things men would like to do without female company, just in the company of each other. Discussing politics, doing push-ups, playing a very long game of chess, holding a serious man talk about someone's job or business. I've had plenty of times when being the only girl in a male-only company would systematically require me leaving the stage, since I couldn't be present at every single step. It distorts the male dynamic. Even if the men like you.

They're dark... She's light... Maybe that's a hint? As in they're from a different view on the world... She's too innocent to belong there.

I think the master updated the Artist Comments.... to say he doesn't want to interfere. Maybe we should bribe him with ice cream.

Nope. And threatening to end the discussion (and doing so) didn't help either. I vote for giving much more elaborate and complicated theories. Then he might give more hints.
So how about she ate the people in the coats, and is now craving for more food? I mean, she sees what used to be people, their coats, the signs of their past presence. The empty hook probably belongs to the one who got away. And now she feels lonely, because she couldn't get him.

I agree with what you said, but I'm still up to the hunt of the true meaning. I mean, yes, you get your first impression, you interpret in a way that is the closest to what you feel. There are many interpretations and neither is wrong, just different.
But then, after all that, don't you have a part that it entangled in the chase of the "true" meaning? Not because the true meaning is more important, but simply because you can see the work as a hidden message, a puzzle? And a puzzle is meant to be solved?

Ah come on, didn't you ever solve a picture puzzle?

Depends on your definition system. If you define the picture with a very concrete meaning, with hints and indications, to "read it out" logically, it has. If you just create away to your heart's contempt according to your feeling, no there shouldn't be any preference. Only a mere "what the author intended".

If a picture is intended to convey a very distinct message, yes then there is a true meaning (e.g. ). In absence of such, meaning is in the eye of the beholder I'd say.

Now don't you go Dutch on me! You're just trying to trick me and then not tell me about the dragons!

Ah so you admit to blackmail, well then I have no other choice but to report you to the authorities!

And what are you going to tell them? That I refuse to tell you where to find the dragons, unless you do something for me? How is that proper blackmail? I'm not even threatening your life, your family or health.

So you're going to accuse me of using the word blackmail, hence proving I'm blackmailing you? Meta.
