Inspired by my research into the perception of wonderment in folk and fairy tales, I am
currently working on a series of images that portray the way children daily use their
imagination to go, much like Alice in Wonderland, beyond the looking glass in order to
release inner tensions and negotiate their place in the world. For a child's fantasy life
is composed of a mixture of often contradictory fears and desires which when played with
help to better deal with the very real pressures of growing-up.
