Inspired by the "The Stolen Child" poem by W.B. Yeats: "Come away, O human child! / To the waters and the wild / With a faery, hand in hand, / For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand." In the stress of 2020, I wanted to create a piece that evoked a feeling of fantastical escape. Books and fairytales have always been a way that I escape from the world when it becomes too heavy. I took two images and layered them together to create this scene, of a girl stumbling across a fairy boat in the woods that she can sail away from reality on.
