17th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Altered Images
Pediophobia

This photo represent the fear of dolls, pediophobia. Using myself as a model, I allowed the fear to overcome me. Turning myself into a doll represents the fear taking over my life so much that it breaks and cracks my skin. The darkness surrounding my eyes show that my soul has left my body and I am nothing but a glass shell.
