My Final Major Project Girlhood is my interpretation of the female gaze. It talks about being a girl from a girl’s perspective and it shows how I see growing up as a girl and being in the early twenties. It celebrates being a woman and all the perks that come with it. Through a series of fashion stories, poems, and portraits, Girlhood shows different narratives and aspects of being a young female to create a relatable and authentic body of work. Book Girlhood reclaims the word “girl” and proves that being a girl is complex and cannot be reduced to a short dictionary definition. The girls in the book are females in their twenties discovering themselves and the world around them.
