The initial composite image appears to symbolize varying levels of consciousness, presented graphically as four coloured blocks beneath the profile of a face. This composition might visually articulate the perceptual capacity of a clairvoyant, capable of witnessing thought pictures or glimpsing visions emanating from the spirit. 

In this portrait, a distinct light blue hue accentuates the area above the ear, while the profile features are minimally detailed, focusing on the hairline, cheekbone, and earring. The face deliberately lacks conventional facial features—no eyes, mouth, well-defined nose, or fully developed ears - potentially symbolizing the essence of a soul. The overall whiteness of the portrait suggests connotations of purity, purification, and connection to higher realms of perception.

Beneath the chin, a loosely rendered black goat emerges, carrying multifaceted symbolism. Traditionally associated with fertility, agility, determination, independence, ambition, exploration, intuition, intelligence, and persistence, it also - according to astrological interpretations - signifies financial acumen.

In the grey space to the left of the face, a floating human figure introduces an element suggesting harmony with intuition and a profound connection with the universe.

A sequence of coloured rectangles—blue, yellow, red, and grey—adorns the composition from left to right, corresponding to distinct levels of awareness. Blue embodies spirituality, yellow mirrors higher intelligence or enlightenment, red signifies the physical world, and the grey area represents the subconscious. The black square below may symbolize untapped potential for development.

These tiers of awareness draw a parallel to the Tree of Yggdrasil in Shamanism, creating a visual and conceptual link between the depicted elements and spiritual traditions.

The size of the rectangles portrays the relative development of these levels of awareness. Notably, the colors employed in Composite A align harmoniously with those in Composite B. The light blue region above the ear appears to symbolize spiritual wisdom, adding a nuanced layer to the interpretation of the portrait.

Idalet dated and signed her name and added the initial (E) on the grey rectangle.
