If you do an update, you can choose to notify your watchers, let's see if that actually works.

I was actually sitting back with a big grin, but because I was pleased with the reactions the image elicited. I was planning to reveal my own ideas about it, but I like different interpretations and I decided not to squelch them with my own. Except maybe a hint about those empty coats being so dark?

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.

Great point and I will not argue with it, other than saying that maybe she is  already past the point of being horrified and on the verge of giving up. Unfortunately, the image is too small as I would have liked to study the character's expression more. As it is we mostly have her posture to go by.
The main reason I didn't agree with your version is that there are no hints given why three men (I see the coats as men's attire) would neglect an attractive girl.
There seems to be an empty hook (or something) to the left of the coats in which case the coats may be craving company of the girl's clothes for example, but that interpretation is not sustained for me by other elements of the image.
I guess we need to wait and hear what the artist will say. The hint that the coats are dark didn't lead me anywhere as well, as that is a relatively traditional tone for such a coat...

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.

That is why I wrote "there are no hints given" as to why they would not want her company... Everything you list is correct, but it is probably not a subject an artist would want to explore or delve into, or puzzle the viewer with it...

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.

That is indeed a very interesting angle, and very valid too... I think it is time SenZzo jumps in and sheds some light!
I find that more often than not viewers' perception doesn't exactly align with the artists' vision, which is how it should be...

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.

Well… I have already shared my thoughts and those will not change, regardless of what the original idea was… The only thing I can add is that it is obvious SenZzo-art  was sending a message, sharing an emotion or a sentiment, which has reached the viewers in certain way… It has reached me the way it has, and you differently, neither as we know now is what the artist had in mind… but the artwork is up and had its effect the way it has, which was individual… What counts most though is that the artwork reached its audience...

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?

I don't think there exists a true meaning... rather an expression, demystification of which is up to the creator... and we all know that creators seldom do that... I wouldn't...

Chanteur-de-Vent In reply to Laspe [2016-09-20 18:04:26 +0000 UTC]

Depends on the intent. As as I said, if the picture is viewed as art and art only, there is no true meaning. If the picture is used as a puzzle to give a very concrete thought, there is. Just like those rebuses and encrypted words. Or easter eggs in Disney movies. Things that are put there for very concrete reasons, due to logic and not emotion.

Not saying it's true here. But it's fun to think of it this way.

Chanteur-de-Vent In reply to SenZzo-art [2016-09-20 18:05:52 +0000 UTC]

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".

SenZzo-art In reply to Chanteur-de-Vent [2016-09-21 22:23:25 +0000 UTC]

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.
