The reader... To me it speaks of letting go of the pressure to "get things done" and choosing, through reading, to escape to a different place and see the world from a different viewpoint.
The third image strikes a chord in me. It’s a reminder of every economic downturn and how it’s hard to let go of systems that once thrived. I think of coal powered plants, I think of gold rush towns, and general shifting ways we all operate in the world.

What’s interesting to me about the second image, The Reader, is that the reader is holding her lover’s foot--so, *not* letting go.
Wow that’s fantastic. Makes me really sad, though--the “brain’s grief” aspect of it.
Doesn’t surprise me that it won--congratulations!
What a beautiful story, Gregory. Thanks
