“Entangled”

Within this work I saw a woman who was deepley entangled. You know… like in a fairy tale when the character finds themselves innocently walking thru a forest that has been enchanted by an evil witch. At first the forest appears lovely and inviting but as they walk deeper into the forest it becomes increasingly sinister. A foreboding feeling washes over them. They trip on a branch on the forest floor and reach out to a tree for support, which awakens it. The tree sends out its branches to ensnare them, entangling them into a trap from which they cannot escape.
