Handle with Care

In a fresh take on the Cinderella story, ‘Handle with Care’ challenges the traditional image of the fairytale heroine as a passive figure waiting for rescue. Here, Cinderella is no longer reliant on a fairy godmother or prince; instead, she holds her destiny in her own hands. This empowering composition features a mirror image of the heroine, symbolizing self-reliance and inner strength. With this artwork, the familiar tale becomes a story of independence and self-empowerment, making ‘Handle with Care’ a striking addition for anyone who values modern interpretations of classic narratives.
