I love the way you've created this rather romantic aura of decay in this piece. The blackness of the roses and the steam coming off her all make the image both dark and freeing at the same time. It reminds me a lot of the idea of la mort amoreuse, as though she's embracing death and being freed by it. She looks as though she could be lifted up with the steam. A gorgeous image.
