Personal work commissioned by the Centre Pompidou’s Studio 13/16, the “first and only space in a French cultural institution with a programme of events designed exclusively for young people”. The Centre Pompidou is a major cultural institution in Paris, seeing over 180 million visitors since its opening in 1977.
This piece is called “Weekend Afternoon”. Two teenagers find peace and connection in the sanctuary of a bedroom. Their poses offer a glimpse into their personal journeys of self-discovery and self-expression. One lies on her back, examining her legs against the wall in a moment of introspection and self-reflection. The other, lying on her front, gazes out of the window, longing for freedom and adventure. Together, they remind us of the importance of embracing self acceptance and personal liberation.
