THE MEANING OF RED

Red is blood.
Red is desire.
Red is danger.
Red is passion.
Red is anger.
Red is love. Red is life.
Red is the wound and the rose growing from it.

The collection does not ask the viewer to determine which character is the hero and which is the villain. Because they are all the same person. The queen is the survivor. The beast is the shadow. The king is the wounded self. The mad girl is the questioning mind. The moon child is hope. The explorer is the future. The swan queen is acceptance. Together they form a single psychological portrait.

YOU WERE NEVER TRULY LOST. YOU WERE BECOMING.
