Waiting for Prince Charming



Changing your environment to a natural environment can create a fairy tale. The story in the original seems dismal and hopeless. The interior is dull, dirty and depressing, setting the scene for a tragic dialogue. By placing the figures outside in a natural, clean and beautiful environment, one wants to tell a different, more enchanting story. The sorrowful bride can dream of a happy ending. Simply being in nature can inspire a different type of story, engage your imagination, and create an escape from the ordinary.
