An Art Project: Handcrafted Dolls Reflecting the Post-War Impact and Ruins “Silent dolls stitched from fabrics that once wrapped a warm childhood. In the absence of faces and names, these toys remain as tangible traces of a missing memory, and of a loss unspoken.” This artwork explores the lingering impact of war through a pile of handmade dolls created from reclaimed fabrics — blankets, quilts, pillows, and bedding. Once symbols of warmth and safety, these materials now embody absence and fragility. The faceless dolls reflect disorientation, detachment, and the silenced identities of children whose lives were disrupted by conflict. Rather than shocking, the work speaks softly, evoking fear as a daily presence that extends beyond the battlefield. Each doll symbolizes a child, a fleeting sense of comfort, and the unspoken memory of loss. By reassembling everyday fabrics into fragile forms, the artist transforms domestic remnants into testimonies of trauma. The work reminds us that war does not end when fighting ceases; it lingers in the smallest details children leave behind.
