This is symbolic of her emotonal pain during the time of her and Rivera’s separation, and the loneliness she felt with him no longer in her life. The Frida on the right is portrayed as much the opposite. Her exposed heart is seemingly whole and strong, she holds in her hand a small portrait of Rivera.
