ignis fatuus
n., pl. ig·nes fat·u·i (ĭg'nēz făch'ū-ī').

1. Something that misleads or deludes; an illusion.
[Medieval Latin : Latin ignis, fire + Latin fatuus, foolish.]

what i may have been thinking:

it is all about longing. the dark figure in the illustration represents a partner who misleads. the one that creates the illusion of a happy relationship, while selfishly pursuing others behind your back. i want the dark figure to release his hand from her shoulder. so even the potential for us to meet could begin.
