Nia's Doll (2)
Nia is now 25 years old and a succesful career woman. She still calls Australia home while her brother Ninto lives and works in London. The picture on the left was taken at Nia's 21st birthday party. Ninto is the one in brownish grey shirt.
The doll represents Nia's past and childhood memories. She has been cleaned and dressed in a red wine velvety dress, that kind of red is one of the traditional Minangkabau's colours representing her mum's origin (Minang in West Sumatra) and the canting and the Batik head cover representing the Javanese blood in her from her father's side. The doll is carrying a pouch with two small teddy bears, one in pink nightie representing Nia and the one in blue representing her brother Ninto.
In the picture on the right is Nia and her boyfriend Anthony holding Nia's doll. Anthony looks very much like Ninto.
