In the making of the “Bucolic Life for my Unreal Existence" photographic series, I employed three mannequin to pose as surrogates for flesh & blood father, daughter and son. To them I am wife and mother. Using amateur-candid techniques, I approach this family in everyday scenarios with a quasi-photojournalistic style. As in much of my work, I am interested in play, especially with dolls, as they are vehicles of fantasy and education.
