Sometimes the smallest things say the most. Love the symbolism. What's interesting, though, is that the upside down cross is also known as Saint Peter's Cross. Simon Peter, according to Catholic tradition was crucified upside down. It became an anti-Christian symbol more so in recent times. What I like most about this picture is what you've already stated. It can be looked at in so many ways. Does the person, herself, see herself as pure and the world doesn't or does the world see her as pure and she doesn't? Such a tease on the mind. Great idea, here. Kudos.
