One of my favorite stories is "Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There". I was inspired by the famous quip by the Red Queen to Alice about running as fast as you can just to stay in place, and going twice as fast as that to get anywhere. Many have used this as a metaphor for life, and I for one agree. I'm often exhausted by the end of the day, yet looking back it seems that I got nowhere fast!
Many falsely join the Looking Glass characters and storyline with Alice in Wonderland. Wonderland is based on a card game while Looking Glass is based on a chess game.
In this drawing I envision Alice and the Red Queen at the edge of the board, looking in and getting drawn into the vortex of the warped world Lewis Carroll created.
