Gallery

Olympia stands barefoot on red fabric, arms raised, lit in blue against deep shadow

A man kneels on red fabric beside Olympia, who stands in orange light

Olympia stands beside the table in her pink dress; the inner child watches from a chair

The inner child crouched on the red floor cloth, watching Olympia's feet pass
