Jasmine invites Alice to several curious travels in otherlands and expanding Alice adventures into art history and pop culture. Her images reinvent Alice emerged in classical paintings creating intertextual dialogues.
Since the last century Alice has being traveling and crossing boundaries of other literary and artistic icons. Between many parodies and pastiches she crosses a wood among treasures and also many misconceptions and traps.

" (...) The story of Alice is already so well known that it becomes fragmented, repeated, displaced, deconstructed, gnawed upon by artists from everywhere, in every way. With her serpentine neck, Alice navigates among hybrid identities, blends, contrasts, oddities, merchandise, gato por lebre, and senselessness that everybody buys and believes without understanding why. She sets out for the new and looks back to reinvent herself all over again. This is Alice. Alice is all of them and none of them, and she opens herself up like the largest kaleidoscope ever seen. Good-bye, feet!
Alice strolls along the margins and between the lines; she crosses borders, a traveler through the unknown, but also through stock phrases, clichés, the commonplace, distortions and cheap simplifications that insist on impoverishing life and art. As we travel through Alice’s landscapes, we also travel through our own interior landscapes. New Alices learn that a path has not been set; rather, it opens as one goes forward, according to the poet Antonio Machado. (...)"
