TOYTALK with TOYSREVIL: Project Empty from Deva Raj
And while I've wanted to feature this figure since 2019, TODAY was the day I went on Instagram Live and started Episode One of Season2 of TOYTALK!
The figure shown is PROJECT: EMPTY from Deva Raj SJ @the_hairy_potter, with this being a release from 2019 Singapore Comic Con, which has since evolved, along with the creator's craft, in anticipation of his upcoming NEW Project Empty releases!
"We fill our heads with what others deem our self-worth is. We let our heart be defined by external perspective. The longer those stay, within our hearts the quicker our mind expires."
"Project Empty" is apart of the "TOI DEN" collective of local/Singapore-based creators (which includes @rushotoys and @mikutoyz). Check out their Singapore-based eShop here, and check in with the individual creators for International Orders, cheers.
Besides the figure’s theme of "mental health", seeing the sculpt holding itself, and even my own hand grasping the figure, reminds me of the need for “self-love” (a nice term but I also understand not everybody might know what #selflove means or what is takes), and also the need to be there to hold someone, or at least be present, and “listen”, even if it means you are unable to “solve” anything … we are so conditioned to offer solutions (like judges at a reality singing show lol), that sometimes we forget the problems might not be ours to solve, nor was it asked to be solved, in the first place, IMHO.
