EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "CARROLL: LOOKING GLASS" we are transported into the whimsical world of Lewis Carroll's imagination. The illustration, skillfully crafted by John Tenniel for the first edition of Through the Looking Glass in 1872, captures a moment of frenzied motion and perpetual stagnation. We find ourselves amidst an enchanting chase between Alice and the Red Queen. Running with all their might, their determination is palpable as they strive to outpace each other. However, despite their vigorous efforts, it becomes clear that they are trapped in a paradoxical loop - running tirelessly but ultimately getting nowhere. Tenniel's artistic prowess shines through his attention to detail; every strand of hair and fold in clothing is meticulously rendered. The vivid colors bring life to this fantastical scene while simultaneously highlighting the stark contrast between Alice's innocence and curiosity and the Red Queen's authoritative presence. As we gaze upon this image, we cannot help but reflect on our own lives - how often do we find ourselves caught up in a relentless pursuit without truly progressing? Are there moments when our actions seem futile, mirroring Alice and the Red Queen? This thought-provoking print serves as a reminder that sometimes it takes more than mere effort to achieve our goals; it requires introspection and strategic thinking. Let us pause for a moment amidst life's chaotic race to ponder if we are truly moving forward or simply running on an endless treadmill towards an elusive destination.
