As she states, "My interest in photographing these children lies in my fascination with the development of identity in children within newly created environments. Both the girls and boys in my photographs are represented in moments where their individuality confronts the limitations of their respective and transforming culture. The work represents my perspective on these children and their futures. My photographs exist as an exploration of identity creation, and globalization. This project is in part a personal exploration related to my own experience as a teenager moving to a small New Jersey town. Growing up, I became fascinated with the culture of American life in New Jersey. Through my photographs I attempt to portray the ideals of the new culture found within the gated community while also illustrating the reflections of cultural experience on the individual. In making these pictures, I am able to see through a looking glass into a window on their lives." Website: |
