Her character Sutra is in a Cenote, or Sacred Pool. For Mayan people those places were Gates between Underworld and Earth; and if somebody enters there eventually will meet the gods. Everything like people, tributes, sacrifices, etc.
The woman is IxChel “the white,” is the Goddess of the moon, healing, childbirth, love and Queen of the Mayan gods, and also wife of the powerful God Itzamná. Sometimes a rabbit was near her.
A kind Goddess who protects pregnant women; the snake on her forehead is a symbol of medicine. Ix in Mayan means the feminine, whether Lady, goddess, or woman. Ix is also meant to convey something high, important, or honoured. Chel means rainbow, or translucent light.
On the Mayan culture the butterflies are warriors spirits reincarnated.

I've always loved this picture. The ripple of the water, the glow of the butterflies, and of course the loveliness of Sutra herself all combine to magnificent effect.
