On the surface, Barbie appears perfect.  She’s beautiful, has great clothes, several good careers, and a perpetual smile.  That fixed little smirk made me start to think about what she might be hiding behind the façade of perfection- after all, how great could life really be for a woman who clearly has an eating disorder, an addiction to plastic surgery, and nothing between her ears?   My photographs portray the dark side of life in the Dream House: Barbie’s obsession with her body, Ken’s quest for sexual gratification, all the dirty little secrets they attempt to hide as they present themselves as icons of the American Dream.
