A young princess kneels at the edge of a still pond. Her world above is full of light, innocence, and wonder. But just beneath the surface, another world breathes - strange, ancient, and watching.

This piece draws from The Princess and the Frog - not as a literal retelling, but as a symbolic bridge. The golden ball she’s dropped isn’t just a toy. It’s the soul - plunged into the depths, waiting to be reunited.

She peers in, unaware she’s at the edge of transformation. The creatures below aren’t monsters, but reflections of forgotten truths and hidden parts of the self.

The real fairytale begins not with a kiss, but with the courage to look inward.

The deeper you go,

the more it comes alive.

The more you look in,

the more it becomes you.
