This painting depicts a little girl standing in front of a mirror, who is trying on new sandals. She doesn't know if she likes these sandals or not. The girl is confused, and seems to be slightly off the floor, suspended. I wanted to reflect such moments in my childhood when you are in an infernal state.
In some ways, the idea of this picture is close to the idea of the film Cría cuervos. Carlos Saura said that he wanted to show that as a child you don't understand where you are going. They just take you and take you away, forcibly push you somewhere, and you are in constant fear.
