Wannabe

"The myth of the doll woman presents an idealization of women that forces them to respond to unattainable moral and aesthetic imperatives. She is a synthetic woman whose anatomy never changes, an ideal woman who possesses all the virtues demanded of a female body, such as beauty, youth, and sensuality, but without any of the “undesirable” characteristics of real women, such as old age, pregnancy, or menstruation. With this project, I want to question how a society and its standards determine an individual's behavior and limit the development of their identity. I am concerned that a person, by virtue of being born and living within a culture, fulfills a role that is imposed on them, and does so unconsciously, without questioning why, or considering that there may be other paths. I talk about girls who look like dolls, about the objectification of these women in the service of a society and customs that generate automaton-like behavior. Far from wanting to morbidly reflect certain aspects of Japanese culture, I am inspired by it to reflect on issues that affect us all, especially in these times so prone to the enhanced representation of oneself."
