An entry that gives a brief glimpse into the lab of the mad (and altogether unseen) alchemist of Alice in Wonderland. The work area is stocked with vials full of colored liquids, octopi, exotic herbs and spices, granulated powders, and a bottle of mind-altering absinthe. In the middle of it all a flask labeled “Drink Me” alerts viewers they are getting a privileged look behind the scenes at the ingredients that went into the foods Alice eats near the beginning of her great adventure down the rabbit hole.

Even in fiction, we want to believe. We want to seize Alice's resilience and courage for ourselves, and maybe we also want to see the world as a more magical place. Being young in these times is not easy; dreaming...

Even in fiction, we want to believe. We want to seize Alice's resilience and courage for ourselves, and maybe we also want to see the world as a more magical place. Being young in these times is not easy; dreaming, however, is.

When reality becomes a burden, we escape. But we must keep in mind that our dreams are not the only place in which we can make a difference in the world.
