Porcelain Doll

A porcelain ballerina

Welcome to the Broken Porcelain Doll exhibit!

The poor, delicate ballerina. She was once a beautiful, exquisite figure, a masterpiece of porcelain craftsmanship. Her slender neck and arms were adorned with intricate details, her skirt flowing out like a cloud of silk. But now, she sits broken on the dusty shelf, a tragic reminder of the fragility of life.

Her once-clear blue eyes are dull and cloudy, her delicate face cracked and worn. Her arm, once poised in mid-twirl, now lies limp and lifeless on the shelf beside her. Her skirt, once a flowing tutu, is now a crumpled mess, its delicate folds torn and creased.

How did she come to this state? Was it a careless mistake, a gentle mishap that could have been avoided? Or was it a deliberate act of destruction, a cruel and heartless gesture?

As I gaze upon her broken form, I am filled with a sense of sadness and loss. This poor ballerina was once a work of art, a symbol of beauty and elegance. Now, she is nothing more than a shattered relic, a reminder of the impermanence of all things.

And yet, even in her brokenness, there is something endearing about her. She still holds onto the memories of her former glory, the whispers of applause and admiration that once accompanied her twirling movements. She still remembers the thrill of being part of something greater than herself, the sense of being a part of something beautiful and magical.
