There's a story behind the painting. This is the first phase of the dream series. It shows a vulnerable woman wanting to come out of her shell but is afraid and distrusting of the outside world. This verse is profound and close to what this art piece conveys. "Trapped Soul, the girl she once was happy and full of life. Now, she is simply trying to live. For her voice no longer reaches people, neither her cries for help. She simply became an animal being caged forever in her heart. -Missouri." This is a story of a woman who overcomes her fears and doubts. Even when things seemed hopeless, she overcame those fears, and she went through a metamorphosis. Breaking away from her cocoon.
