According To Specifications - Limited

The need to live up to certain exterior looks is of great importance these days.
A doll head with large eyes, therefore, was my goal, especially to emphasize the numbness en to create an unsettling feeling.

The content looks attractive, but as soon as you look at it, it would get to you, as if you would feel guilty about the feeling it provokes.
You would be sorry for them to be made victims. You would be sorry for them because you made them victims
by looking at them in a certain way.

I like the catch lights in the eyes (to me) it reinforces the automaton nature of the subject. to be honest it might be as interesting or more not to have the back story or even the written message in the image, but that is just my opinion. All in all it is a very nice series.
 
This whole series is amazing. The message of all of them carry weight, and it's a fine project. I need to look at these on my home computer tonight when I have more time.

Thanks for sharing this wonderful work.
