It's also how narcissists never look at themselves

But she's holding her face out in what looks like an attempt to do so, it's just that she's not equipped to?

I thought she was looking at a handheld mirror!

Totally can see that, as well as the previous comments' take. It's cool how art can be speak to people in different ways.

Also I think that people sometimes have issues with seeing themselves in a much worse light than they are. Which can actually cause them to see others in a worse light. And cause more issues with their happiness and relationships.

To me this more feels like that. The healthy alternative would be they look in a mirror and see themselves more authentically. Maybe without makeup as opposed to a medusa like beast.

We sometimes see ourselves as snakes or demons when we're really just human. If we saw ourselves and others as just human, rather than snakes or evil, then I think that's the more ideal place to be at where we can really treat ourselves and others with more kindness.
