Despite writting this lines just fiftheen days after known the work of Lydia I’m not sure how I’ve become in love of her work. I can not remember if I saw her in a magazine, I think not, or sailing in Internet, probably but where?
In any case, the eyes of this dolls reflects all the human miseries.
I hesitated between Lost youth and Afghan woman. My first impression was for Lost youth, the worst episode of the humanity reflected in the innocence of her eyes, in black and withe, the youngs that will never become mans. I’ve wanted to have a work remembering this period but... I’ve take finally Afghan woman because of two reasons: one about the subject and another about the technique.
About the subject I want to pojnt out the importance of the conflict between religions in the contemporary wars and the weakness of women in this wars, moreover than the classical ideologic wars of the XX century.
About the technique, Afghan wman is more centred in the eyes than Lost youth and also the expression of the doll manifesting her scare.
I beleive I find with this works a new way to collect. I hope one day I could exhibit them altogheter.
