By Aesara
Ada's fists were clenched throughout resembling a state of infancy, and her body wound up tight, such a somatic symbolism of helplessness.
It's so affecting that we surely feel the discomfort crawl around in our own bodies when seeing personal space being invaded and the ways of life stifled by different masculine forces in Ada's life.
There's also a lack of motherly affection and a feminine exemplar within the family, which just made Ada's emotions obscure to the men who let their manliness go unchecked and astray.
Walking on, carrying the body and mind of a woman, Ada traverses into a dark tunnel in search of a light.
