Unfortunately, she suffered with pain and depression when she returned to Mexico where she painted a young deer fatally wounded by arrows. In the background, there is some sky with lightning which could symbolise hope, however being surrounded by dead trees and broken branches – as well as being fatally wounded – the deer symbolises fear and desperation, and her loss of hope knowing that she will never be able to change her fate.
