Bike Accident, 2005
Of the several series that she has posted on her website, the Teenage Stories one interested me the most. To me they were very powerful and I can relate to the emotions that are reflected in the images. They seem to convey the story of growing up and what it feels like to experience change in every aspect of ones life. The cocky attitude and feeling of self importance that every teenager has, that you know everything in the world and are ready to take it all on and dive in head first…to me that’s what is being portrayed by the over-sized models, towering over the sets. And yet at the same time, the girls are shown feeling awkward, scared, self conscious, and intimidated by the changes one must face and the mysterious fantasies of the world...
"I wonder if I've been changed in the night? Let me think. Was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I'm not the same, the next question is 'Who in the world am I?' Ah, that's the great puzzle!"
