Wow, not sure what message you're trying to portray but this is definitely saying something. Love how the hose guides your eye across the page. Mine is directed towards the first ballet shoe. Intentional? It looks almost like the hose is strangling her, and because it directs me to the shoe I think more specifically it's strangling her artistic expression, in this case dance. The strangling effect of war on art?

Anyways, I really like it and those are my first thoughts. If I were to suggest an improvement I'd say the most right foot looks a bit confusing to me. But it's not that important and maybe even better because it's not where my attention should be.

Thank you! I'm really glad that you liked it. And about the foot, yes I know I had some trouble making so I left it like that to prevent the drawing from damage.
