A new poster for Grey's Anatomy 's 13th season shows half of Meredith Grey 's face against a teal background. The other half is cut off by a black and white rendering of the Seattle skyline. It's a compelling design, definitely, but fans are thinking it's much more than that.

Even the media have joined in on the speculations. International Business Times theorizes the poster could mean "Meredith will be torn between herself and her beloved city in the upcoming season of Grey’s Anatomy."
Now, at long last, Shonda Rhimes has spoken. Here's what the poster really means.
For anyone trying to interpret the "meaning" of the new #GreysAnatomy poster design: it means ABC designs really cool posters. #artdeptrocks

Everyone else is clearly having way too much trouble waiting for the new season to premiere without having any knowledge of what happens to Meredith. It looks like they’ll just have to be patient till the fall.
Like what you see? How about some more R29 goodness, right here?
