This is project set within the sphere of everyday life, given the issues it addresses, namely the communication processes that family life involves; The Rag Dolls ´Project touches on various characterising and fundamental aspects of modern western societies. The project comprises two works. One of the key elements in the Rag Dolls´Stories is the idea of games as a structural component that is present in all kinds of socio-cultural, political and religious events; It is an essential part of the learning process and thus a factor underpinning human behaviour. Moreover, by showing the everyday affairs of the members of my family in their life together, the project takes up a universal topic: the fear of loneliness. While it is not originated in individualism, this concern can be thought of us the result of certain individualistic modes of behaviour that are prevalent in today?s world. The fear of being left alone of losing those we most love, in short, the fear of death, have their expression here in the replacement of some individuals by their exact replicas made from rags. This arouses a certain loathing of the strange and the unknown and is foreshadowed by a strong presence of disturbing elements which, by means of visual resources, opens the door to gloomy interpretations.
