Children experience life with dolls and puppets. Attended,
pampered and loved dolls, a projection of daily life placed in a
fantasy world created ad hoc by a childish imagination. But in
this relationship with the doll there is also the mischief
of a little girl who explores the world of adults, who
communicates with an inanimated thing, she acts like an
adult and builds her personality by freely expressing of her
unconscious thoughts, hidden visions, also exorcising her
own inner monsters.
A strong connection that grows over time: time after time,
the first doll is replaced by an other one with the features of
an adult woman that becomes a model to imitate.
So the
doll can become for the adult, men and women as well, an
object to pour on their love, something that fills their emotional
emptiness...or paradoxically to go back to childhood, even if
now they are adults!
