In December 2025, over three weeks, I took part in a collaborative project at UWE as part of my Master’s Degree. During this time, I created six illustrations, depicting various versions of the Cinderella story and their modern equivalent. Drawing on versions from France, China and Egypt, the project explores how stories evolve to reflect changing ideas about gender, power and class. Through contemporary retellings and illustrations, Cinderella is reinterpreted as a figure navigating modern systems of visibility, exclusion, and resilience.
