Wow, Marina! Every time you post, I can't imagine how you would top this one--but you manage to! I can't get over how you can use this adorably cute child to create something that is so un-cute, so powerful, so archetypal. The bird is incredible, too. Every element seems to imply meaning, but the meaning is not trite or obvious. I love the mysterious monochromatic background, like a forest in a fairy tale. There is a powerful drive and vision in your work.

I enjoyed seeing your beautiful illustration for the children's book, too. Writing and illustrating children's books was my first ambition, and I would still like to do it some day.
