The figure was inspired by an 8-year-old girl playing dress-up in my red high-heeled boots. As I painted, I realized that depending on the orientation—landscape or portrait—she transforms from a girl to a woman and back to a girl. To fully engage the viewer with this changing content, I decided to rotate the painting, allowing for a complete experience. I also included interactive handles, letting the viewer manipulate the image. Additionally, I designed the ticker-tape font that wraps around the entire canvas border as a playful surprise element.
