Through the portrayal of Adeline, Adele, Sanhui, Severine and Tao, I seek out to document human fragilities and desires lying beneath the hidden market of sex dolls and question modern conceptions of beauty. By playing with the duality of the doll, as both sex toy and companion, and positioning them within a neutral frame, my purpose is to produce a moment of suspended belief, tricking the viewer into believing in the 'realness' of the dolls. Ultimately, my aim was to make sense of what makes us human and give an insight into the relief we choose for our suffering.
