Music Box: A Senior Profile Portrait by Devon Zuegel (2011)

Marie Winthrop wants to change the world. Born into a wealthy family, she's been sheltered from real world problems and so has romantic, unrealistic ideas about how to change them. She donates to charities, but she doesn't really know where that money goes; she sponsors political candidates, but she doesn't really understand the details of their platforms. She likes the idea of philanthropy, but she doesn't know the people she loves because she's always been separated from them and their reality. Marie's parents have made everything easy for her, resulting in her acute idealism. Her painless, uncomplicated life is reflected in the music box cupped in her hands. The delicate shell around the music box, the ceramic ballerina slowly rotating in the same path as long as the box is open, and the clean blue background represent how idealistic her sheltered upbringing has made her.
