									This piece captures a moment of ‘stillness,’ with a girl encased in a large block of ice, surrounded by smaller ice cubes embedded with blue and white flowers. Wearing a fancy bunny-eared headdress and a dress, the girl is frozen as if suspended in time. The surrounding ice blocks symbolize the cooling of emotions or an inhibited state that resists change in a bid to preserve purity. The red-haired character outside seems to be offering a gesture of salvation with a bouquet of flowers.
