It starts out waking up in the morning, and getting ready for the day. As it progresses, you can see the femininity dominating.

In the second layer we have attempted to make fun of the morning routine that women are anticipated to follow. People think that we spend hours doing our makeup and hair, even thought, according to them females are supposed wake up flawless. The four pictures at the center and the shattered glass around it symbolizes our effort to break through these sickening norms.
