First Night

This piece captures the exact quiet second right before everything begins. She’s just fallen asleep eyes closed, body finally resting under the green blanket. Nothing has happened yet. No rabbit. No fall. But something is already starting to form above her head. A small cloud is slowly gathering, carrying the first hints of the world that’s about to unfold inside her mind. This is the fragile moment when the inner Wonderland begins to wake up, even while the girl is still in the safety of her bed. The very first image of Sariraa (Me) in Wonderland the self-portrait that starts before the story does.
