From dresses to tuxedos, to flowers to boutonnieres, prom is filled with exciting stuff all around: and today is the day.
In recent years, promposals and hoco proposals have become more and more popular. People go all out to make their date feel special. Most students, even though they know they're going with each other, still make a big deal out of asking their date to prom.

In DeSanto's piece, the focus of the artwork is on two characters. The dynamic between them conveys a soothing theme. However, close examination reveals more elements of the story left unclear. What is the truth behind this artwork?
