Alice: Answered prayers

My dystopian art, for ANA_K

As mentioned in my Meeting Hall post, I'm not entirely sure when Alice's alter ego first emerged, or how the characteristics landed. Suffice to say, 'dark' Alice is a critically important part of Alice's character. Alice's story gets dark (when I finally get to writing it all), and dark Alice is the reason Alice can go on. Even when she's alone - she's not alone; when her courage fails and her anxiety prevails, dark Alice is there. And while I describe it as an alter ego, or even occasionally as a split personality, I've come to understand it almost as an inversed form of dementia. Rather than forgetting and reverting, she is remembering and becoming. Perhaps there is a real condition that is exactly this? But Alice's 'dark' state is what 'preserves' Alice for who we all know and love. It's a divesting of her darkness in an embodiment of empowerment, and a retention of her innocence, happiness and purity in Alice.

Always exploring.
