Not sure if people know about these artworks already, but i find them especially captivating. They are a series called "Fallen Princesses." A set of photographs taken by Dina Goldstein. Each photo depicts a modern day adaptation of the old classic "disney princesses" under a 21st century setting. As Dina states,
"The happily ever after is replaced with a realistic outcome and addresses current issues"
While i understand it's perfectly normal for young girls to believe and read fairy-tales but it is also perfectly normal to know that the original Grimm's stories had many dark aspects that Disney has sanitized for a modern audience - and of course, marketing purposes... Don't you think the photos are so interesting to look at?
The Little Mermaid
Cinderella
The Princess and the Pea
Beauty and the Beast

Rapunzel
