Of Dolls And Jewels : Keeping As A Strategy Of Care And Belonging, Yuqi Fan
Of Dolls And Jewels : Keeping As A Strategy Of Care And Belonging, Yuqi Fan
Masters Theses
In this thesis, I will discuss the psychology behind object attachment in the doll-keeping subculture by integrating doll language into contemporary jewelry.

Throughout history, women have endured many obstacles placed upon them in both the private and public spheres. Women are pressured to achieve an ideal beauty standard and the expectation to fulfill the obligation of traditional domestic roles.

By utilizing the format of photography to document the discomfort of “wearing” or …
