As complex as human beings might be, the online dating world distills us into a series of photos and prompts in order to attract attention.  In Fielding Season I explore how much of ourselves we might be willing to show to attract another person. 

The subjects of these images are 1:6 scale dolls. I use dolls because I want to represent the archetypical, idealized representations of people that recur on dating apps, and dolls are their own kind of archetype or idealization of humanity.
