The series conceptually describes the psychological consequences of childhood trauma: neglect, abandonment, and abuse.

It begins with the "Inner Mother," a gesture of symbolic reparation in which, cradling a doll, the subject offers herself the care once denied. It then develops through intrusive memories of what has been, the alienation from reality, and culminates in "Hamlet's Doubt”; the existential question: to endure suffering or surrender to it
