This series is a non-documentary story picturing two girls and their indoor coexistence in a domestic space, where we see them reveal the discrete power of their feminine qualities and explore the relationship between them and the closed space that surrounds them.
In the images, the encounter with the outer world is constantly postponed, replaced by a safeguarded area which is established indoors. This domestic boundary creates in its turn a love for attentive direction and intuition games, praising the analog way of thinking.
The girls, isolated from anything that is happening outside, seem to be focusing on an endless process of contemplation and discovery. Though, living in a state between childhood and adulthood, they do maintain a conflict in their minds regarding which point of view to approach reality from.
Ballrooms, cutlery and billowing skirts, secret flings, wallpapers and windows left half-open, sleepovers and journals are all part of this distinctive world where the past has been embedded, portraying a sentient emotional world.
This project, that worked as an escape desire from the present times, served a need for staging a separate universe, at a safe distance from reality and free from the objective sense of time, allowing those much needed feelings of safety and freedom to emerge and lead the way of the creative process.
