IMAGES OF THE FLIP SIDE OF

WONDERLAND

Utilizing the techniques of shadow and light, an uncertain feeling arises which causes you to think “where am I and what is that coming this way?�

A little lost girl comes walking around and suddenly stops, noticing your presence looks longing into your eyes.

You sense something sinister is about to happen and flee through the woods, hoping to get away.

You stop, only to notice that a creature is crouching behind the bush, waiting for the right time to attack until a creature walks up and scares her off.

The Black Queen, ruler of DISTURBIA, arrives and demands to know who you are, you flee in a panic and arrive back into the beautiful world of WONDERLAND, only to know that a more sinister world awaits beyond the colorful and vibrant world, a sinister world known as DISTURBIA
