THE MEANING OF RED
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.
