As many contemporary fairytales have grown from their original versions in order to incorporate the influences of other cultures who have passed them along, I see these stories not only as a part of my childhood, but also as a representation of my own development growing up in a host of different countries. Following the same system, I traveled and accumulated my own collection of beliefs and traditions, blending them into a singular identity. Focusing on the reinterpretation of multiple international retellings, along with the injection of my own cultural experiences, I’ve tried to mature a familiar fairytale format by filtering it through a more global perspective.
