An introspective fairy tale that prompts the reader to consider their
connection and place in the world
Once upon a time in Persia, there was a woman who had never seen her
reflection. On her wedding day, she sees herself in a mirror for the
first time and does not recognize herself. Heartbroken, she runs away,
mistakenly believing another bride has taken her place. Her love
desperately follows her, trying to persuade her that the reflection she
saw was in fact herself. Protesting, the woman must explain to her love
that her shape cannot be contained so neatly, for she is the shape of
water in the lake, of the sun when it rises and sets, and of the moon
when full and at crescent.
