En este proyecto la reconocida fotógrafa Dina Goldstein abstrae a personajes de cuentos de hadas como la Princesa Jazmín, Blanca Nieves, etc. y los coloca en un entorno actual lejos del “… y vivieron felices para siempre” en una vida que muy posiblemente seria lo opuesto a lo esperado.
Estas fotografías mas allá de su valor estético podrían traducirse en una critica personal hacia la influencia que pueden ejercer sobre los infantes "los cuentos de hadas o demás historias extraordinarias", considerando la responsabilidad del difusor, al crear expectativas que no son correspondientes a la realidad.
En palabras de Dina Goldstein:
…
"The project was inspired by my observation of three-year-old girls, who were developing an interest in Disney's Fairy tales. As a new mother I have been able to get a close up look at the phenomenon of young girls fascinated with Princesses and their desire to dress up like them. The Disney versions almost always have sad beginning, with an overbearing female villain, and the end is predictably a happy one. The Prince usually saves the day and makes the victimized young beauty into a Princess."
"As a young girl, growing up abroad, I was not exposed to Fairy tales. These new discoveries lead to my fascination with the origins of Fairy tales. I explored the original brothers Grimm's stories and found that they have very dark and sometimes gruesome aspects, many of which were changed by Disney. I began to imagine Disney's perfect Princesses juxtaposed with real issues that were affecting women around me, such as illness, addiction and self-image issues."
