The Silent Room

The images in this series are intended to depict the devastating moment of recognition and realization that one has been living life by society’s expectations. The concept is expressed through diptychs pairing dolls faces with ‘broken’ women.
Dolls are a potent symbol and encapsulate the stereotypes of the feminine acting as devices that relay these manipulative values to the susceptible children.
The work represents the reversal of the process when the female becomes aware of the roles they have unwittingly adopted, the point where the woman has been remade in the dolls image.
