Better Well Versed is a way to say that it is preferable to be properly acquainted of a tragedy than to be oblivious to it: one can only learn from the former. Experience can only be knowledge within the acceptance that there must be time through which one gathers the learnings.

The main subject in this painting is a girl, her bust ornamented by surrounding and interacting elements, showing an expression of calm expectation in her face. Her head is adorned with the flowers of carnivorous plants, as a symbol of (the unavoidable sometimes? I often wonder) self-defensiveness. Her eyelashes are feathers and her eyes are open and shedding tears, conjuring ideas of the fickle fascination one has to overcome when approaching the understanding of happenings. There is an octopus surrounding her wrist- it accounts for selflessnes and for bearing with whichever hardship may come along the way, as one must surrender to that thing they say: "you live and you learn". There are wheat flowers, a reference to prosperity, coming out of her ears, and a black creature hanging in her shoulder.

The girl blowing bubbles is how the background, some wavy waters, meets the forefront image.
