The second photo for me says a lot, close your eyes and it will go away, but it never does. Silenced by those around signified by the hand of another across the mouth if they can’t here what you have to say then there is not a problem. Powerful image.

Excellent take on the subject and creepy indeed but your blogger is right, they really say so much without saying a word.

wow this had so much emotion even though i feel the dolls are emotionless, but it conjures that feeling of being unheard as a child.

I love the take here. Definitely one of my favorites although as Tina says above, in a sort of creepy way.

I love old dolls. Isn’t that what we all are…..broken dolls?

Powerful and eerie.

This photograph seems sinister to me, almost as if the dolls signify something more brutal than being silenced. As if they might take this farther and end up on Americas Most Wanted list. It is beautifully displayed.
