s air is heavy but the sunlight feels alive The Balcony Scene Her Connection to Nature One day she goes out onto the balcony without clothes She stands near the washer-dryer She does not care who sees her Her body begins to react to the sun It drinks in the warmth the air and the light She feels part of the world outside The husband sees this as madness But it is her moment of awakening The Meaning Her First Step to Transformation Standing naked under the sun shows her change from human to plant It is her first union with nature The sunlight enters her body and starts the transformation Later she tells her mother The sun s rays penetrating my bared flesh were so much like your scent Here the sunlight becomes a symbol of comfort motherly love and natural rebirth The wife stands naked in the sunlight because she seeks freedom She wants to return to nature and to her true self
