| A Girl and Her Room -- Rania Matar |
Rania Matar's A Girl and Her Room is a collection of intimate portraits of teenage girls in the spaces they shape and control themselves -- their bedrooms. Featuring a wide range of young women from across the United States and in Matar's native Lebanon, the book explores the self-expression of the girls as they move through the transitional phase of teenage years. "I like Rania Matar's new monograph A Girl and Her Room more and more each time I move through this bright series of portraits of teenage girls, at home in their most private and personalized spaces. The initial pull of these often chaotic images of girls and their stuff yields to a nuanced look at that space between child and adult, innocence and self-awareness." -- from the review by Karen Jenkins. Though straightforward in concept, the portraits prove to be rich with subtle content, and create a compelling photographic essay on aging and identity sure to resonate with adults and youths, male or female.
