Trying to be suggestive of a meditative or yoga-like pose. Then I noticed it looks like the standard vote distribution graph ... and finally that it looks like a rear view of someone in a spotlight.
Backlit with a regular incandescent reading lamp, tripod set low (camera at about 24" off the ground), used the timer and about 10 tries to get this alignment and exposure.
Shot with exposure compensation at +1, set exposure and focus on the lamp alone and then interposed the subject during the timer countdown.
Cropped, rotated and reduced; cloned out a couple of dead pixels; did a little burning on a couple of especially bright hairs.

Too dark (even on my Mac screen) to see the stripes in the hair (just barely make them out). The floral sheet is very distracting, and you can see all sorts of stuff on the left, which really throws off the composition.
