Choice
Why
In this scene, our character has chosen to paint away the barrier between herself and ultimate reality. Then, what next?
On her palette she has clouds, symbolizing illusory states of awareness, and stars, symbolizing eternal light.

Clouds - photographed from a plane on the runway in Tallahassee, Florida. Visiting my family there.
Stars - “invented” in Photoshop
