Fallen Princesses

A series of images from Vancouver photographer, Dina Goldstein, is creating quite a buzz online. Goldstein, a conceptual artist with a background in documentary photography, creates visual series that "place the mundane and everyday in unusual settings to inspire insight into the human condition." 

"'Fallen Princesses' is an ironic look at children’s parables, from Grimm fairy tales to Walt Disney," She shared with Yahoo! Canada News. "By placing iconic characters such as Little Red Riding Hood or Snow White in modern situations, the series became a commentary on such everyday scourges as poverty, obesity, cancer and pollution." 

"These works have been recognized for their metaphorical and ironical messages, which transcends cultural borders and have sparked much conversation and accolades from academics, editors and bloggers around the world."
