Online Intervention

This is our campaign project. We all worked together and communicated with each other the entire time as we all focused on a different section. My focus was on healthcare. I used Adobe Spark to design graphics for my part of the presentation.

Uncomfortable Project Summary

I know that I picked the right subject for this, because I can not even look at these photos. I love and hate them so much. Ever since I was a kid, dolls have always freaked me out. I used to have recurring nightmares in elementary school that my Raggedy Anne doll was trying to murder me. I’ll watch any horror movie, but I will never watch something like Annabelle or anything involving creepy dolls. It’s probably a phobia. Going into this project, I knew that dolls aren’t something that necessarily makes everyone uncomfortable, (I’m sure hardly anyone is as uncomfortable as I am,) so I knew that I had to work hard to present these dolls in a way that could actually incite discomfort in others. Despite the fact that I was nearly pooping my pants the entire time, it was actually fun to do this, and I definitely felt that artistic rush that I love so much, which only comes when I’m creating something passionately. It was, however, very difficult facing my fear head on like this. I kept saying “oh my gosh, oh my gosh, I can’t, I can’t,” because I was crawling out of my skin the entire time. I was uncomfortable to the point that it was even freaking me out HOLDING the dolls as I moved from location to location. Every part of this project, from coming up with ideas, to taking the photos, editing and posting the photos, as well as creating creepy titles for each picture, caused me discomfort beyond words. So as far as making myself uncomfortable, I definitely succeeded at that. The question now is if I was able to succeed at making the audience uncomfortable as well. I hope my project can freak you out even 25% as much as it freaks me out!
