After her divorce, Frida created this painting to demonstrate two sides of her. The right side is the person that Diego respected and loved. In her hand she holds a photo of Diego as a child and is the "Mexican Frida in Tejuana costume". On the left side she is dressed in a Victorian wedding dress, symbolizing the woman that Diego abandoned. Notice, that both of their hearts are exposed which Frida did to express her pain. The unloved Frida's heart is broken, while the "loved" Frida is whole. There is an ambulette that is connected to both Fridas, but is cut by "broken-hearted" Frida. She is also holding her own hand which shows she is her own companion.
