“EVER AFTER” 2025
Familiar stories like Sleeping Beauty, The Three Blind Mice, and Hansel and Gretel have long been part of our cultural imagination. These mixed media collages draw from the narrative of Cinderella, but instead of presenting the child-friendly versions we know today, they challenge that sanitized perspective. Many classic fairytales originated as dark, unsettling tales before being adapted for children's entertainment. Through this work, I explore the original meanings and symbolism embedded in these stories and examining how their transformation over time has reshaped their impact and significance.
