The Living Mirror
(Work in progress)
Inspired by the transitional aspects of turning 17, the portraits in this series explore the mixture of emotions, both turmoil and excitement, as these subjects stand on the threshold of their future.
Part of an ongoing project where I photograph 16-19 year olds who are poised at a momentous juncture - about to leave home, about to go to college, travel the world, or start a new job.
I am interested in the way the self divides and comes back together to form a new identity, particularly in moments of vulnerability and flux.
