A Longing Look

Every weekend, Princess Anna sneaks away with her breakfast to finish the meal at a window bench along the east side of the castle's state hall. From there you can see past the deep forests all the way to the high mountains. Anna wants to travel beyond the horizon, and explore the world she reads about in the library's dusty books. On summery mornings like this, the castle feels incredibly dreary and boring. If only her father the King could understand why she needs to get away, if only for a moment...

 

Built for the 12x12 Vignette category in Summer Joust 2022. See Vignette for overview of the moc.

 

Note: The window seat area with a non-rectangular space (to maximize light inlet I guess) is inspired by a real seat I saw in Vadstena Castle, Sweden a week ago.
