Life Is a Dream

'Rosaura. High on a mountainside in Poland, dressed in a man's traveling clothes.
Having been thrown from her horse, she descends while addressing the runaway animal.'

Inspired by the opening scene from Pedro Calderon's 'Life Is a Dream'. Due to the weather in recent weeks I wanted to play with the idea of snow falling.
