Instagram post: Young girl looking into ornate mirror reflecting her grown-up self as a mehndi artist

Digital painting in a soft storybook style on a warm mauve-taupe background sprinkled with bokeh sparkles. The carved gold rococo mirror frames a cosy studio lit by warm bulbs, where a woman in black embroidered clothes applies intricate henna to a client's arm beside candles, roses and a gold tray of cones. In the foreground a little girl in a blue floral dress with a blue bow looks up at the mirror, telling a then-and-now dream-career story. Warm amber glow against cool blue creates the focal contrast.
