Dolls in the landscape

For this body of work I decided to use the dolls I had made for a series of photographs in a landscape setting. The photographs were originally simply to show the doll and its form in various settings and it wasn't until reflecting on them a few weeks later that I realised the impact of the photos. They allure to scenes of devastation. The way the doll is positioned, often lying on the ground, makes it look abandoned within these landscapes. The theme of a mother and baby is much more powerful than I had anticipated when taking the photographs, the idea that something tragic and devastating is heightened.
