Portrait With Dolls I: Nightmare Blunt Rotation

Self-portrait with Barbies in a nightmare blunt rotation.

“Corresponding to the imaginary world of play and the intangible nature of the subconscious, 'Portrait With Dolls' exemplifies the physical act of play by juxtaposing myself alongside Barbie within the same pictorial. Here, I engage with the doll as one would in childhood play scenarios, however, with matured intention: instead imbuing grimness, grotesqueness, and debauchery onto the innocence of nostalgia.”
