Wow... I can actually feel her thoughts flying all over the place and the inner dilemma she's going through. That was brilliant.

Lovely work. Her sense of oppression, of being trapped came through so strongly. I feel for her, stuck in the mask she can't take off.

I like the way you introduce bits from her childhood- little things, like her mother curling har hair and putting her in a dress. They're things that seem so normal in a kid's life, yet they must have each caused her a secret pain.

Fantastic job; this piece really resonated with me.

Can't wait to get involved
