This series from the award winning team Winkler + Noah Photography plays with the idea of our children as dolls. Having a child of my own makes this really disturbing.

How can we forget the scent of dolls? A smell of plastic mixed with vanilla, with an after-taster of Roberts talcum powder, that enchanted you at the first encounter. You felt you could eat them. Now, years later, you find the same faces here. They look at you with the same big eyes. They talk, laugh, dance and joke….like children. Because that’s what they are.
Children we ask too much of, to be perfect, like dolls. Children who have become sons and daughters of perfection, pretence and image, manipulated by the media and the social context and who are inevitably losing their naturalness.
