collage art interpretation

I do not know the title of this collage
it's by artist joseph cornell
it represents things hidden,
things hidden and tucked away
are impossible to hide

the sculpture of the little angel
gives light in this dark
yet colorful
context.
The room
is divided by a thick brown line,
which appears like a thin tree
trunk, though
it is a rendering of a tree
trunk, growing in a cell
with beautiful blue walls.
everything about this place should be dark,
dank--this appears to be a cell
this angel should be confined--
yet the cell is luminous.
