🪶 Short Description

An uncanny moving image where the artist becomes her own experiment — iServalan enters the synthetic doll world.

Edition of 10 • 4K Master • Certificate of Authenticity

✨ Full Description

Dolls is an immersive moving image work in which iServalan becomes both subject and construct — a living figure injected into a world of synthetic perfection.

The piece merges live performance, digital replication, and painterly compositing to create an uncanny field of movement.
The dolls shimmer, breathe, and glitch — their surfaces reflecting both allure and fragility. Within their glassy poise lies the pulse of artificial femininity, perfection engineered, emotion performed.

Through this layered illusion, the artist questions the mechanics of beauty, replication, and authorship.
Who animates the doll — the maker, the code, or the gaze of the viewer?

Visually rich and emotionally charged, Dolls invites the audience to confront the merging of human and manufactured grace — an evolution of AURA’s exploration of sentient aesthetics.

💋 Collector Notes

This work sits at the intersection of portrait, sculpture, and digital theatre.
It continues AURA’s fascination with the feminine construct and emotional coding, first explored in Self Portrait of iServalan and Dolls (And Vanities) in The Book of Immersion.

Collectors are invited to exhibit the piece as a looping digital projection or frame-based installation.
Displayed large, it transforms space into a soft mirage of light and gaze — alive yet unreachable.
