Exploration of Reborn Dolls
Reborn dolls are hyper-realistic, handmade dolls designed to resemble actual babies, often made from materials like silicone and vinyl. These dolls gained popularity in the early 2000s, especially among grieving parents, as they offered a means to cope with loss. The emotional connection with these dolls ranges from therapeutic use for processing grief to a more compulsive obsession for some collectors, blurring the line between reality and fantasy. The detailed artistry involved in reborn dolls draws admiration, but the lifelike quality can simultaneously evoke discomfort in those unfamiliar with the community.
