Ophelia

Rising: Dispatches from the New American Shore by Elizabeth Rush

Rising sea level, the most catastrophic disaster humankind is facing, is not natural but human made. Ophelia, a famous victim of manipulating her own lover, look brutally alike. Swallowed up by water all the beautiful things we created is a suicide indeed.

Waiting for Unordinary Spring (Red Dream #10)

The woman's name is Iris, goddess of the rainbow and the messenger of the gods from Greek mythology. She is holding a small pot with an iris bulb inside, waiting to sprout. She has high hopes that it is going to bloom into an extraordinary flower in spring - bigger, prettier than ever before. She is waiting without knowing that she is turning into a flower. All the colors of the rainbow are mixing together and slowly transforming from pitch black. Her face transforms into a colorful iris flower petal and her body to leaves and stem.

She no longer has to wait for spring.

Geum Jool (Golden String)

The Book of Unknown Americans
by Cristina Henríquez

Alma, who came to America leaving everything behind and being vulnerable, reminded me of myself as a new bride from Korea. Having left Korea for the first time, I felt like a toddler learning to walk and talk. Geum Jool means "golden string" in Korean and traditionally represents an arrival of a newborn in a home. The portrait of myself in a traditional Korean wedding gown with geum jool symbolizes myself being reborn as an American through marriage.
