A figure in a golden dress stands waist-deep in a field of tall green grass, arms open at her sides, her face hidden behind a cluster of balloons in orange, pink, red, and peach. The sky above is wide and softly lit, full of moving clouds. Arms open and face hidden, she walks freely into whatever the season brings.
