Dali found that flames seemed to have a life and mind of their own, giving an almost hypnotizing sensation over the viewer, representing erotic impulses and desires of the female figure. .
Dali explained "Woman Aflame" as reference to the importance of sexuality in human behavior (Freudian) and about natural curiosity of children to search prohibited areas, satisfying desires to know what the spaces contained and to eliminate the fear and potential harm of the unknown. The golden drawers symbolize the concealed sexuality of women. Many of the drawers were portrayed as slightly ajar, illustrating that their secrets were known and no longer feared. Two crutches rise from the woman to indicate a mixture of authority, stability and sexual power. "Woman Aflame" should be part of the subjective frame, about what the artist is trying to convey and how it makes the audience feel, to do with emotions and thoughts. Salvador Dali designs the artwork to convey his favourite obsessions. How the flames consuming the woman gives the observer interest in a dream-like state, representing impulses and desires of women with drawers illustrating secrets and his views on them, curiosity and fear. The pose and posture of the woman, one head by her head and one hand raised in the air gives the viewer a feeling of stability, authority and sexual power. The way she stands confidently on both feet despite the fires licking her whole body makes the viewer feel deep respect for the woman. She stands in a posture with her hips outwards revealing herself, rather than hunched and trying to hide herself, presenting herself as a free spirit.
