Abandoned Dollhouse

A white, two-story dollhouse stands in a scattered pile of rubble. Although the dollhouse is an emulation of a luxurious, upper-class residence, its decaying condition and depressing surroundings clash with its tone. Detroit used to be a place of opportunity, a manufacturing capital -- see the tiny Fisher-Price plaque in the upper right of the toy -- until it was overrun with corruption and poverty. A disproportionate glass bottle, once containing Smirnoff vodka, is littered on its balcony, mirroring how Detroit's residents have turned to drugs and alcohol. In the background, some trees obscure out-of-focus houses. There is not much we can discern, but we can guess that the blurry houses are in a decrepit state and are empty, or inhabited by drug addicts.
