Girl Before the Mirror

I really liked the poem by Updike, but i was really interested in Picasso's painting. Im curious as to which side you guys think is the girl, and which side is her reflection...
I interpreted it with the girl on the left side, with her two faces. Maybe they represent the "faces" she puts on for the outside world. What I though was even more interesting was the right side which is how the girl is really feeling under her social masks. The right figure is dark and reaching out, as if to be reaching for help or understanding.
The painting is us. If we reflect how many of us are just like the girl in the painting?! Maybe were not reaching for help or understanding, but maybe its comfort, friendship, or even acceptance.

Anyways, what to ya'll think?
