Because... when pictures fail, words are worth something.

Another Goddess has emerged from her cocoon. She's learned about food. She's learned about beauty. She's learned that thin is good and thinner is apparently better. Now she learns something even more problematic: Ask someone else what they think. Ah, validation! That peculiar habit of handing someone else the measuring stick and then anxiously waiting for the results. Well? Does this ass make my butt look big? There are, of course, several things wrong with the question. Beginning with the fact that she's naked. On a donkey. Apparently, those details don't concern her. Yet her bottom does. The donkey, meanwhile, looks as though it would very much like to be excluded from the conversation. Its expression could be sympathetic. Perhaps it understands the burden of being judged by appearances. Or perhaps it's simply thinking: Lady, I'm an ass. What exactly did you expect? And maybe that's the joke beneath the joke. She's looking outward for reassurance when perhaps she should be looking inward. Open-eyed, but not quite seeing. Still measuring herself against standards she didn't invent and seeking answers from anyone willing—or unfortunate enough—to provide them. She's still in Winter, after all.
Still becoming. Still learning the difference between being seen and seeing herself.
