Over the past decade and a half, the lives of the people in the Dominican Republic have changed drastically. This has much to do with globalization. It has transformed and will continue to transform everyday life. I find that certain aspects of the culture are permanently lost and people’s lives are changed. Many Dominican families that have migrated to the United States bring toys to relatives and others in need on their trips back to the island. The creativity in the children has changed due to the fact that now there are more toys available. This is why I find it necessary to document the children as much as possible while making toys and during their playtime. I used to make dump trucks, matchbox cars, dollhouses, airplanes boats and toy handguns. All pieced together from the materials made for mass consumption. This is the kind of work children make who are born into poor families. Those were endless days. It is fascinating to see what goes on in a child’s head. The shape that their toys end-up taking are objects and things they wish they had as the real thing. I also find interesting the amount of commercial brand names and logos that turn up in these toys. This is evidence of an increasingly global village. Different parts of the country make different toys. It depends on the abundance of any particular material in the area. The idea is to invent anything fun. My aim is to preserve the memories of making these wonderful creations. These toys show the hopes and dreams of the children making them. And we always remember our friends. No memory is more pleasing than that of shared curiosity.
