The work comes from a story in the 1940s, a window model designer named Lester Gaba created a mannequin named Cynthia, he was shocked by her beauty and fell in love with her, Gaba began to take the model out to various celebrity dinners and social events, after media coverage, Cynthia became a celebrity, making Hollywood movies and appearing on the covers of fashion magazines. Eventually, she went to the beauty salon for a treatment, unfortunately fell off the chair, and eventually broke.

My understanding of the story is that Cynthia is Gaba, Caba is Cynthia, and she represents him in the spotlight. Lester Gaba of the title and Cynthia in the shadow. Gaba went from being an ordinary man to putting on a wig, jewelry, elaborate makeup, and a dress, and finally standing in the window.
