Symbolisme

Why do we react so strong with these items? They are creepy, but only broken toys...
Ibsen is one of the Masters of Symbolisme...
"From this moment happiness is not the question; all that concerns us is to save the remains, the fragments, the appearance - " (A Doll's House, act III, by Henrik Ibsen)

Word and image so powerful presented, impressive work Heidi.
I see my little granddaughter, caressing her 'baby' and one moment later the doll is flying through the air with a gesture of disinterest.

Wow! big box of broken dolls. The pieces speak to me of past "relationships" with the toys.

It is sad; these were much loved once.

Great!
Have fun this weekend!

I think the reason is we associate dolls with children. When I see a broken doll I think of a broken child. A wonderful ending to your series. And, have a ton of fun this weekend!
