Like a dollhouse is a subtle interplay between reality and illusion, a poetic narrative of American suburbia in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. The images, suspended between fantasy and reality, transform domestic spaces into illusions, where the typical suburban house merges with the imagery of a dollhouse. By alternating between hyper-realistic details and miniatures, I delve into the essence of these spaces: orderly, seemingly perfect rooms filled with latent contradictions and tension. The rooms, with their typical furnishings—floral wallpaper, draped curtains, neatly arranged cushions—contrast with the intimate, surreal scale of the miniatures, creating a continuous oscillation between the tangibility of suburban life and its idealized vision. Inside the dollhouse, everything appears perfect, but this very perfection becomes deceptive, suggesting an alienating world, almost detached from reality. Here, the boundary between fantasy and reality grows increasingly thin, inviting the viewer to reflect on what reality truly is.
