At first, I took these pictures of my friend's little dolls, called Danbos, because I thought they were cute. I experimented with them in different locations and positions, and then I photoshopped them a bit. As the semester progressed, I started realizing a pattern or a theme with them. The "personality" that these Danbos take on is representative of my younger sister. She's 11 years old, and this is the first time we've been apart for longer than a weekend. Being at college in Florida when my home is in New York was a big shock for me, because I've never been away from my family for such a long time. I went from never being away from home for longer than a weekend to being away from home for months at a time. So, these Danbos and the activities they do in these photos are similar to what my sister and I did when we were together, and the traits that the Danbos portray, whether it's helpful, caring, or just silly, is how I see my sister. The relationship between my sister and I is depicted by the relationship between the Danbos and myself.
