BeBe Identity

Photographed as thoughtful beings, the dolls are an inorganic representation of the conscious persona. Through the use of analogous imagery, the artist prompts the viewer to construct personal meaning and thus subjectively interpret the thoughts of each doll. In the end, the viewer is left with the discordant awareness that the thoughts they have attached to what they have observed are not and never will be a living thing. Evocative, repressive, and disturbingly sexual, Bebe exposes the stark imperfections of humans through the safety of inanimate objects.

“Quintessentially tortured art derived from exploited dolls reinvented as beauty queens gone awry. Nymphism serves as a portal to a wormhole of consciousness punctuated by female objectification, vanity, and social values, with pedophilia creeping at the edges.”
