Photography by Louise Daddona
I found this image of a china doll immediately very disturbing. The dead-pan expression on the dolls face is particularly moving as the massive crack down her face is clearly obvious. The clear pale texture of the doll in comparison to the matte black background is very effective as the doll is in complete focus and
the only thing the viewer is made to look at, making the image quite uncomfortable and full-on.
I think using a china doll is perfect sybolism of child abuse. The doll represents something very innocent and calming and when broken and taken out of context theres something very eerie and sad about the whole image.
