POLYSACCHARIDE (2000)
POLYSACCHARIDE (2000) visualizes the inner conflict of a girl growing into adulthood in The Philippines. On the one side, the dollhouse stands for the rules and expectations of the family in which she is growing up. Both impeded the girl in her growth – the dollhouse literally. On the other side, it represents her fantasy world. Here the girl can flee the adult life, and her future has not yet been filled in. The series is a critical reflection on the way girls are raised in The Philippines. They are perhaps well cared for, suggests Wawi Navarroza, but they are not cherished as individuals.
