Nesting

Nesting is one of the pieces for my thesis. When I research the background of Russian dolls, it shows that the last layer usually is a baby. They are made with many layers and each layer metaphorically mean to protect the baby by the mother. I took the idea of it and made it to Nesting by a Russian doll family. Their love and care is preserved in the nest/doll.
