SHE, AFTER
SHE, AFTER 1/4" scale model
"Breathe"
"My name is Nora. I am an orphan. Are you mesmerized?"
"I was inside, and loved; Now I am outside, and not."
SHE, AFTER
"Have you ever been poor? Have you ever been free? I have not."
"I grew so tired of the woman the world believed I was."
"To be a mother is to suffer love. To be a woman is to be quiet."
"I feel like I’m going crazy, or if everyone here in Wonderland is already crazy"
"I thought you might be here. You always turn up at the direst moments"
SHE, AFTER
"I don’t want to be Mother Alice anymore! I just want to go home and be a little girl again!"
"Tell me, am I just an entertainment for everybody else?”
