Naima

For some reason when I heard single subject, I immediately thought of my daughter's toys. And when I thought of her toys, I thought of the doll she has had the longest and loves(d) the most. Naima was the first doll she ever received.  She has been to several continents and traveled the world, in a weird way she is a part of our family. There was a time when Kaia would not sleep without her, but now she is often found sitting a lone in a corner somewhere.

I thought this would be an interesting subject as I find dolls both tender and creepy. Their eyes are often made to feel so full of life, but end up creating lifeless stares like this one:
