The model picked this piece because of the parallels between what she went through and the Frida Kahlo’s life, particularly in dealing with infidelity in romantic relationship.
As Frida dealt with Diego Rivera’s unfaithfulness, the model dealt with heart break caused be her lover’s unfaithfulness.
The dirty looking grunge background with cracks and splatter of red represent the pain, broken trust and disgust caused by the action.
She also identify herself with this painting because of her hispanic ethnic background.
