Mithya...

This story is about a woman who lives in different worlds...her work, her home, her relatives, her dreams...all of them are around her (symbolized by the rectangular frames)...she is the same in all but the things around her change...in some she is all alone, in some she is surrounded by people, some like her and some different...she tries to be in the reality but something pulls her back to her illusion...her dreams (symbolized by the bubbles) try to become a part of her reality (symbolized by the big red frame in the center)...in some she is a princess, in some she is an ocean...in some she is the moon, in some she is the air...she tries to achieve them...some are well within her reach and some are far beyond...some are too dark or unclear for her to see...

She tries to maintain a balance between the illusion and the reality...tries to be practical...but she is pulled into the illusion again and again...she has to realize that she has to stop trying for her illusions is a path to her dreams...she can't be happy in this real world, their are far too many unrealized or broken dreams in it...she has to stop trying...she has to stop crying...

No photoshop this time :)...plain sketch and paint...just adjusted the contrast and colour balance in photoshop...
