Thesis work
I did my thesis, on the topic of "Punk Princess". Basically, my thesis was an amalgamation of two very opposite themes, and values but mainly it was a depiction of my true self. Punk represents the rougher much rebellious side of any human being, while a Princess' raison de'tre is to be delicate like a flower,and elegant like one aswell.
