cry

She is surrounded by pain by horror…but she doesn’t have anywhere to run! Her eyes show helplessness.
She wants someone to protect her….but all she has with her is her doll, only a materialistic thing. Her hand is reaching out for someone to hold her. She has seen so much pain…she has seen the real world…she didn’t know the world was so horrible…she thought it was about chocolates and Barbie dolls…little did she know that one day she will have all those materialistic things she has longed for, but no family, she lost her true world. Her family died in front of her eyes... her hand is wiping her tears to soothe the pain, but they keep flowing. She is in a corner in the darkness where she wants to hide and never come out of.

She had everything, her parents’ love…but she didn’t value it; all she wanted was new toys to play with…she didn’t know that a day would come when she would crave for their love but all that would be left would be ghosts from the past.




She saw them burning in front of her…the nightmare that will haunt her all her life…the screams of agony and pain would never fade. She tried to sink away in the corner into the darkness, never wanting to see light. She was afraid of the truth, found comfort in the grueling darkness….she didn’t want sympathy.

I have made this sculpture to express the way I felt when my grandmother died, I wanted to portray the pain and helplessness I felt, I made it during that week and connect to it in many ways with my life…..

Ghosts from the past is all about gothic darkness, I wanted to portray the maximum amount of fear ….and a child’s fear is greater than anyone’s and then I came up with the idea of making Stephanie a five year old who was suddenly surrounded by a turmoil of horror my next pieces will be about the way she discovers happiness mainly through God.
