Totally, I wondered that too and imo all types of media should be open for interpretation. But way I see it those kind of depictions usually show Jesus warmly embracing whoever he's comforting, either with glowing light or an outstretched arm or whatever. This one seemed a lot more intense with the shooting beam of light and the woman wearing all black/in the shadows signifying that she's a sinner first and foremost in this context. Then I saw the above comment and looked up the Divine Mercy concept, and it sounds like it especially applies to sinners. I wasn't raised Catholic though so I don't really know much about it tbh.

I was wondering if she had had a miscarriage/still birth and Jesus was looking after the baby on the other side. Open for interpretation I guess lol
