about
I started in 2023 about girlhood and how people who have
experienced the identity of being a girl in different ways.
Girlhood is a universal yet highly individual experience,
and this body of work celebrates this complex relationship.
My approach to this project stems from my affinity for
documentary storytelling. This project is a tribute to my
close friends and family members who trusted me to
photograph these inward moments that reflect a much
larger narrative. I am drawn to the subtleties that define
this fleeting period and invite viewers to reflect on the
universal experiences that shape our individual stories
from when we were girls together.
