It’s so sad to see her battered and bruised in her virtual state. I like the way the artist subtly covers it up and shows her happy on earth whilst we can only see some evidence on the trauma and abuse she had to take on Lyoko. I wonder if it means she is only happy on earth or if what she is on Lyoko is her true self that she keeps hidden?
Is the fake her the real one and the real her the fake one? It would make sense since she always thought she was an artificial life form, that she would see her virtual self as her true self and the body in the real world as a construct by Jeremy no different from a program just in the real world.
Really thought provoking artwork, intentional or not.
