ABSTRACT:
This paper is a creative project with a contextual essay. It consists of a short story and a handcrafted illustrated book accompanied by a contextual essay. The story is presented in a fairytale format and explores a journey of self-awareness. The inspiration came through the classical fairytale of ‘Sleeping Beauty’. A little girl driven by some heroes of the fairytale, travels through her dreams and finds out who she is. She walks into her inner world and meets several figures that lead her to a path of self-awareness. The contextual essay presents several Process Work concepts and discusses my experience during this creative effort. It includes a short literature review of some Process Work concepts and a brief historical review of the role of fairytales in central-western Europe focusing on the classical fairytale of the “Sleeping Beauty”. Using Process Work theory and tools, the present study attempts to track my self-awareness journey through a creative work of writing a short story and drawing pictures. The Process Work concept of Innerwork was used as a tool for tracking my process and creating the story. The project attempts to suggest that acceptance and awareness of all parts of identity would be awakening in a life journey.
