She has already had an accident with her bow and arrow resulting in her losing an eye and now her match-making skills resulted in both Romeo and Juliette’s untimely demise. (Notice the coffin she sits upon). She is simply not sure she can continue in her current profession as cupid. The results of her labours are often other than hoped for…

She thought her new outfit was so pretty! Why is everyone whistling?
In my eyes, this is about a little girl on stage at her school concert. She is about to do her solo dance routine for the audience, in her favourite dress and bunny ears, but little does she know of the playboyesque connotations of the bunny ears or the way children can so easily be sexualised. The audience starts whistling and sees her as an object instead of an innocent child with her fairy wand.
She is so confused.

As the light streams through the bars on the windows, she wonders how long she will be a prisoner to the rules and perceptions of the masses.

I loved painting Ele in Greener Pastures so much, I thought I would make a 3 dimensional version.
