Girl interrupted captures the fragility of the fleeting window between a girl’s childhood and adolescence through her relationship with dolls.
The self-reflective lens portrayed in the doll’s faces grabs our attention and creates a narrative between the girl and her doll. As an unseen witness or interloper, we observe the emotions and physicality between the two characters. While told through the colours and imagery of classic young femininity, the images have an uncanny quality, suggestive of something more sinister or unsettling.
The work is equally beautiful and unsettling: it fulfils the expected stereotype of girlhood and then subverts it.
