Valley Of The Dolls
ILLUSTRATION / ART DIRECTION
Role:
Illustrator
Manifesto:
Silence and rejection suffered by the woman is externalized in a Science-Fiction universe where the sensory organs themselves are nullified.
The Valley:
Cut off from a world where they are only allowed to listen, their spines grow stronger because of the rage and helplessness they have been thrown into in this world.
They are cured of sentience and now they are strong, trying to recover their freedom and senses despite having been annulled. Where the thorns manage to create a shell in a dystopian society that isolates them and prevents their expression, canceling sight, smell, taste and of course, opinion.
The dolls:
Their spikes symbolize a tradition of isolation to which their female ancestors were subjected. They have inherited that burden, but despite this they protect themselves and feel strong.
