Abandonded dolls came up, which i think it can be used to convey the idea of having imaginary friends. As when we're little, we tend to play with dolls and imagine that they can talk and play with us.
The use of doll can also be used to show "human like" figure inspired from the movie Babadook.
Personally, I'm really afraid of the doll as from its human like figure and having the idea of them having the ability to move by it self. As in movies, dolls can be haunted or possessed.
Also, I found this picture and find it really creepy. Thinking it from one perspective, it can convey the meaning of being consumed by the drawing. The neutral face on the drawing breaking the 4th wall can creates tension on the audience. This technique is also used in the opening of the movie Women in black.
Inspired from this, we can change from the drawing of mother to a friend to show the idea of the friend is imagined or made up by the character.
Further more, signs and writing such as " please don't leave me" or " stay and play" like this can be related. Which can gives a sense of threatening and uncertainty of what is going to be consequences that might follow.Moreover, I find this image disturbing as the use of props ( the mask of skeleton)as a part of mise en scene. Emphasis the meaning of death and the idea of devil, that contradict with the convention of child being innocent and pure.
