Photographed  as  thoughtful beings, the dolls are  an  inorganic  representation  of  

the conscious persona. 

Through   his  use  of   analogous   imagery,  the artist  prompts  the  viewer  to 

construct personal meaning and thus subjectively interpret the thoughts of each doll. 

In the end, the viewer is left with the discordant awareness that the thoughts they have

attached to what they have observed is not and never will be a living thing.

Evocative, repressive, and disturbingly sexual, Bebe exposes the stark imperfections of

humans through the safety of inanimate objects

“Quintessentially tortured art derived from exploited dolls reinvented as beauty queens  gone awry. Nymphism serves as a portal to a wormhole of consciousness punctuated by female objectification, vanity and social values with pedophilia creeping at the edges”.
