American Dream

Things are not always what they seem, especially when musing upon the American Dream. Wearing a frilly dress and a flawless updo, a young girl poses in a lush garden. While the idyllic surroundings evoke a perfect world, her troubled eyes and downcast expression reveal hidden shadows amongst the overgrowth.
