A young girl contemplates an enchanted frog prince in this exploration of a young girls contemplation of societal expectations and norms.  Her face is serious, and the toad’s jewel like eye seems to lead into a dark unexplored universe.  The background of willow leaves encloses the moment, and stirs in the breeze of possibilities.  The girl’s pale gold head scarf stands in for the crown of a fairy tale princess.
