About the Item
This whimsical mixed media collage by Zoa Ace reimagines imagery from Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll with a vibrant, surreal twist. At the center, Alice emerges from an ornate golden frame, caught mid-motion as if stepping between dimensions. She clutches a watering can and a heart-emblazoned envelope, referencing her symbolic journey of growth and discovery. Surrounding her is a kaleidoscope of fantastical elements: a candle, dice, mushrooms, constellations, a plum, a saturnian planet, and a miniature chessboard — all nodding to Carroll’s layered metaphors of chance, logic, and transformation.
The artist juxtaposes classic Victorian illustrations with pop culture collage techniques, using bold cut-out typography to spell “through the looking glass,” emphasizing the themes of perception and inversion. A small, playful meerkat-like figure and the inclusion of the artist’s signature ("Zoa Ace") reinforce the surreal, playful tone. The rich black background intensifies the vibrant colors and sharp contrast, making the dreamlike narrative feel both timeless and personal.

Zoa Ace
Zoa Ace was born in Rockford, Illinois, in the 20th century. She is influenced by Max Beckman (1884–1950), who was a German painter, draftsman, printmaker, sculptor and writer. Although he is classified as an Expressionist artist, he rejected both the term and the movement. Zoa's images are subconsciously manifested into a juxtaposition of themes and figures in motion.
