Series dedicated to the formation of girlhood and womanhood, aspects influencing it, understanding of femininity as personal experience and not a prewritten gender scenario.
In the process of making the project the artist experimented with the visual approaches and materials, talked to women around her (friends, relatives, tutors etc.) and researched various sources to contextualize the shared experiences she outlined in the discussions. Further research and visual investigation were based around themes of mother - daughter conflict, generational trauma, specifics of teenage girls society, male gaze and pregnancy as starting points in female sexuality.
