Message from the photographer
Perspiration – Tears – Youth – Love – Independence. She became a high school student with those words in her mind. She is no child, yet she is not an adult. A high school student. Eleven months have passed since we started high school. We are caught between dreams and reality. We can only look forward. We have nothing to decorate ourselves with. Just the way we are – life size. Today she walks one step at a time into the future. She and I. I want to progress with her as we are. I’ll be with you throughout my life!
About the subject
We have been friends since primary school and have always been together. Her expression constantly changes and she is an emotional person. I took photographs of her just the way she is.
