To be or not to be

Life is what you make of it, is the message of this piece. She looks away in contemplation and despite naming this piece the quote from Hamlet by Shakespeare - which is where he contemplates death and suicide, weighing the pain and unfairness of life against the alternative, which might be worse - this piece is actually one that I want to portray positivity and power. She has a regal aura about her, and I believe if you are powerful in the mind, you can achieve many things in life, and so it will be what you make it.
