I haven't seen the image but have heard it described several times.  I
can only guess that the following lines from MoP may relate to it:

    Just being alive
    It can really hurt
    And these moments given
    Are a gift from time

The picture conveys her finding a moment of pleasure by dancing, even
in the midst of the pain and death that come from being alive.
