    Honorable Mention in Fine Art / Portrait

Inspired by Rapunzel fairytale. I never really loved Rapunzel's tale. It always seemed crazy to me for someone to hang onto her mane and climb up to the tower. I mean... Rapunzel had to bear the weight of the prince on her head for him to go see her and finally rescue her. Sometimes I wonder if Rapunzel didn't have a choice... if she couldn't make a liana out of her own hair and save herself.
