Entry Description

I had a dream. A dream of people and dolls living together happily. But dolls are a creation of man. A dirty mirror; an empty shell. Yet frightening or not, a future we might have to get used to given current the developments in robotica and sexdolls. I remember dreams I have during nighttime vividly and often think about them all day. It affects the way I look at the world, the decisions I make and how I feel towards the people around me. Highly affected by these images I became fascinated by the dream and its surreal yet straightforward language. Situations usually seen as weird or taboo feel absurdly ordinary in our dreaming mind. And it is this that I strive to recreate within my photography.
