Me living in the suburbs
I do not live in the suburbs. I do not know exactly how people came to this conclusion and why some of you think I do. I don't even know if there are any suburbs here.
The Dolls
Just about everyone finds the doll piece disturbing. You guys only saw two of the four dolls (and not properly shown either). Yes, they are disturbing...that was the point. Losing one's innocence is a very terrible experience. For me, it felt torturous and slowly being killed. I decided to depict this the best way I could. I decided dolls would best symbolize childhood innocence. The white on the dolls obviously means innocence. With red stained on the white, this shows innocence lost in the most tragic way. The four dolls are all nailed to these wooden boards and hung from the ceiling (hanging it created a very eerie effect rather than have them posted into the ground or leanning against a wall). They are in various torture positions. ***WARNING: GRAPHIC DETAIL***The first doll has it's feet cut off as hot dog meat was shoved inside for effect. Not only were the feet cut off, but also the doll's eyes were plucked out. In place, I put red food dyed tissues inside. The second doll was nailed upside down and blindfolded with two tacks placed where the eyes are. The third doll is probably the only one considered dead. Only the arms are left as we see a trail of blood down the board (as if it slid down). And the last doll was the most terrifying one for me. The feet were nailed in a specific way so the legs are bent (knees outward), whilst the neck was tied down with barbed wire. The belly was cut open and the hands were left free so it could touch the organs inside. If, for some reason, the legs finally gave in, the body was rest against the board with five or so long nails sticking out, with an instant kill.
Now, I apologies for such graphic detail, but I felt you should know about each. This showed the horrible pain I have suffered for the last 17 or so years of my life. This is supposed to be a difficult piece to look at. I almost stopped doing this piece because it was too much for me. Never before had I done something as graphic as this. There was another time where I did a piece on abortion and was truly graphic. The bathroom setting also added to the piece. But this doll piece was much more brutal and disturbing than the abortion piece a couple years earlier.
I normally do not make such violent art and was quite disturbed knowing what was in my head for this. However, I felt this piece has to be the way it is and no other way.

I don't like labels and I've expressed this before. It'd be nice if you folks would stop using such label on me. Thanks.
