Teenage Stories
In Between
2008
With these five images I have continued my interpretation of the transitory period in a teenage girl’s life between girlhood and womanhood, as seen earlier in my series Teenage Stories. These images show the girls alone again. Even if the physical and emotional changes materialize very publicly, a teenage girl is in truth alone with her metamorphosis. The girls, are suspended in a state of confusion during this time of transition, as they continually and fragilely adjusts to their changing appearance and a new role in society.
These images capture this loneliness and that period of suspension between the two states, at the same time revealing motion in a positive direction. A state of minor ‘chaos’ during this transitory phase is evident from the fallen mirror, the spilt milk, the scattered music score and violin, and the floating books.
I think that these images show a sense of frivolity and are possible less serious than those of the earlier series. Again, I have enhanced the natural indoor light with artificial light to enhance the effects I employed to continue my ‘teenage story’.
