Doll Star started with the inspiration given me by some photos about very small figurines being used in real places and situations. I had some ideas and found the old doll in my mom's house, I was instantly seduced by her tragic potential.

These shots come from a personal work which is, in full version, a 21 picture series and text. The shooting took about a week, which was necessary to give that chronological entity. Like in the movie creation process, there are outtakes and a lot of scenes which didn't make it.

The selection of the photos took some months of maturing and reflection. I had to let the idea rest a bit in my mind for my intention to be less influenced by the freshness and the hurry of the beginning.

This is actually a luxury we can have with personal work, to take time, time to grow, time to forget our pictures and watch them like a sculptor in front of a stone, ready to make his story.
