This painting is about growing up and becoming disembodied from the values, people and activities that marked childhood. The intricate arch in the background suggests an altar, a revered space where the nostalgia of early life is mythologized, and simultaneously discarded by the hanging body of a troll doll. The portrayal of toys engaged in real world conflict and distress, creates an image that speaks about a transitionary moment, away from naivety and towards a more evolved and objective outlook.
