I guess the girl is as dead/dry as the plant. I think that's the message. If so, this picture doesn't seem to work very well. The plant chosen looks a bit uncommon (it took me a while to realize it was a plant), and so it distracts the viewer. Perhaps it's shot from too far away. Also, the girl's expression is somewhat agressive, when she should look more depressed (at least assuming that being depressed is the closest thing to being dead/dry). Finally, the color red is an interesting choice for background, and for the girl's lips. Is it to establish a strong contrast with the subjects?
Again, this is all based on the assumption that the girl is related to the plant because they are both dead/dying/dry.
Hm. I'm not quite sure about how the left and the right hand side of this photo hang together. I still like something about it, though. I just find it a bit puzzling.
