I’ve tried my best to prepare for what being a young adult woman would be like. Now, growing on my own in college, I’m faced with a reality I couldn’t have understood until living it. My every day is full of jarring situations that leave me feeling an overall sense of discontent and confusion, bringing about self-isolating tendencies that pit me against myself and those around me. This side of the female experience is often overshadowed by the stereotypical representations of what it means to be a woman. Being so young and impressionable, my world is taxing and scary. Melancholy and uncertainty hide themselves within my confidence to succeed. 

This series of photographs captures my life's quiet moments, especially as I exist in an artistic world primarily driven by men. Each photograph is accompanied by a song title in which I feel the contained narrative exists.
