Description

A doll go on a trip alone. It sounds impossible because people think doll which is a thing cannot move by itself. It never ever has any feeling. Its life always control by someone. It is a dead thing!  
I would like to let people think doll has its own life and its own feeling. So I am going to be a controller of my doll and try to be the doll or in another hand the doll is trying to be me. 
In the future a few weeks I am going on a trip to China, by myself. The doll 'Ddung' will be my travel mate and tells the stories. The best way to tell a story I think is by using photos. It gives the spaces that you can think about more and to imagine more.

The objective

• Photography has been and always be the weakest and most interest part in my course. I would to try to learn and to get improve my photography skills from this project and be practical.
• I am a kind person which likes  every sweet and light green thinks, always think to go back to childhood. I am sure there are a lots of people think the same as me. I would like to grab their resonances.

For this project, I've got three ideas to present my show.

1. The first idea is making a narrative online photography magazine. The story is all about a girl’s lonely journey. The doll ‘Ddung’ will be my model in the story. It will be follow me and join my journey in China. The background of the image has different subject. I am going to pick the changes of season. The places I am going, they are all in different season. Although it is October. when people are reading it, it comes with different part of background music. it changes and shows the emotion of the image. 
2. The second idea is taking images of the same doll from different angles then create the story from the images. http://bbs.deey.cn/thread-26354-1-1.html This is an example. I like it because it is simple, easy.
3. The third idea is to make a stop motion music video, by using a song called <new soul>. I would like to show how a doll carry on her new life, after met her host.
