Dina Goldstein's "Fallen Princesses" photo series was conceived as a response to two near simultaneous developments in the lives of two women in her life, her mother and her daughter. Just as her daughter started to show an interest in princess-based fairy tales, she recalls that her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. The series started with the image of Rapunzel losing her hair after chemo treatment, and progressed to include a depressed looking Snow White in a not-great marriage, and a lonely cat lady version of Pocahontas.
