It's not it's a time-lapse of isolation. She reads her books and watches the world. As she grows hollow from loneliness (see how she has no torso when kneeling) dusk arrives and the knowledge which she attains begins causing her to feel damned, and paranoid. In the farthest reaches, she has disintegrated, burned herself to ash just as rescue were to arrive. The ship on the sea is very open in implication for who was trying to rescue her or how.
