The series of artworks is A family in disguise, it displays a group of partially transparent dolls up against a patterned wall. All the dolls are different but made of the same material. I find it interesting because the bodies all seem like frail bubbles shaped as bodies. Also I find it interesting that only the faces and random parts of the body are solid rather than transparent.
The transparency of the dolls intrigues me the most because from a far distance only the solid parts will show causing the dolls to camouflage into the wall. Whether the artist means the dolls are disguised as a family or the family of dolls are disguising themselves as walls is questionable. If I were to looks at a doll on it's own I would interpret it as a person who isn't noticeable and blends in with the background. I would also interpret it as a person who is visible and have nothing to hide or people can easily read them. This artwork reminds me of how everyone seems almost the same in society, majority of the people in the world don't get noticed and are disguised within a crowd of people.
Overall not only the subject is interesting but the placement of the doll in front of a patterned background because lets the dolls pop out more from the background. If the dolls were to be placed on a plain white background the artwork may seem a bit plain. But when an unusual shaped and patterned background is placed the doll becomes more dynamic due to the transparency.
