One moment in my life that has been emotionally challenging was the visit to the Dollhouse in Disneyland with my best friend. I’ve been thinking and dreaming about this fairy and imaginary world, about all those dolls in amazing costumes et decors for 3 years but when I went there my experience was totally different. I didn't only see the magnificent of the place like I use to, I also noticed that the music I loved so much was actually a hymn for peace in the world, and the dolls actually represented every countries that are supposed to get along together without wars or conflicts.
It was in this particular moment that I realized I was no longer a child: I grew up.
This moment was really important for me, that's why I wanted to represent every steps of my experience in seven postcards.
1. The making of
The beginning was a hard! I was really inspired and had a lot of ideas but that was the problem: I didn't know where I should start.
I wanted dolls, glitters, pink, blue, black, unicorn, castles, an imaginary and creepy atmosphere, weapons, flowers, thinking, grow up all together...
I first started with this one where I sort of put everything. There are two little girls that represented the two best friends looking at each others with a psychedelic pattern in the back that represented the introspection of the girls. The clouds and the barbies mean the fact that we were in a dreaming world full of dolls. Here's what I came up with for my first postcard:
Then I had one more week to finish all the 7: it was the most difficult part!
I've then made seven postcard who related to one step of the journey from the entrance to the amusement park with my best friend, to realizing that the dollhouse was against war, to watch my innocence running away...
I cut every postcard, glue it on thick paper and even try to put glitter on it....
... but glitter was no really a good idea!!
