The collage portrays a room with a brown paper brick wall and a floor with a yellow, white, and brown patterned floor. To the left side of the room is a container holding uncooked spaghetti noodles to represent straw, and a spindle with a metal chain coming out of it, leading to a pile of glittery gold paper; representing straw being spun into gold. The miller’s daughter sits to the right of the room on a teal chair, her brown arms grasping the sides of her head, her long black hair tied into a ponytail by a small piece of yarn, everything else made out of paper. She sits peering at a laptop that reads “RUMPLESTILTSKIN CORP” from a small, black piece of paper. Underneath are the words “Online Applications Only” in a small white piece of paper. Beneath that heading are scraps of yellow and orange paper chaotically arranged with the words “Analyzing”, “Logic”, “Reasoning”, “Skills”, and “Math”.
