Bas Relief — Joshua Grasso

Like every other teenage girl, Sveta looks in the mirror and finds a body at odds with the world. Why can't she simply turn to stone like all the popular kids who are only a few years from being petrified on the hill? Is it because there's actually something wrong with her...or does she secretly want something else, something that might ruin her chances at a 'normal' life?
