Head in the Clouds 

Sarah Joncas painted “Head in the Clouds,” using oil on panel. In this work, the artist merges a dreamy aesthetic with themes of introspection, creating a space where contemporary sensibilities meet fairytale imagery. The woman, who could be a modern day Alice in Wonderland, rests pensively. She is framed by the stark, almost surreal branches of a tree. The book she holds suggests a journey into other worlds, or perhaps a retreat into the self. Joncas's art often features young women in states of reverie. Her works capture a sense of being caught between girlhood and adulthood. "Head in the Clouds" could speak to the complexities of identity, the weight of thoughts, and the quiet rebellion of finding solace in one's inner world.
