"Becoming Wonderland" is a contemporary rendition of the classic fairytale "Alice in Wonderland” in the post-covid era. It features a girl standing in front of a vibrant pink and orange background, embodying the strength and resilience. The painting is a metaphor of our lives: just like Alice found herself lost and confused in Wonderland, we find ourselves struggling to find our place in a world that has been deeply impacted by the pandemic. However, the painting also represents hope and renewal, as the girl emerges from her experience stronger and more self-aware. The bright colorful background symbolizes the abundance of life and creativity that surrounds us, inviting us to embrace new possibilities and experiences.
