GIRLS SHIT AND SUN KNOWS ABOUT IT

Moving to the next level, actually a turning point of sorts. Overwhelming for some, freeing for others. Making us unravel the past, in everyone bringing back memories.
Another round.
Is this the time to say goodbye to childhood, the moment to part with the teenage years? A run into a new chapter, the first solo approach. But maybe it's better to postpone this moment and immerse ourselves in dreamlike suspension. To go back to the teenage years, as the “here and now” triggers memories of “someday and somewhere”, thoughts of missed opportunities and moments. Just not to fuck something up again.
First attempts at make-up in a dimly lit bathroom, red hair dyed with cheap shampoo, eyebrows plucked into thin arches - just as they advised in Bravo. There's no waiting. Faster, drive with this growing up! Give me pins and real dramas like from MTV! They're already “telling me you're somebody. You can have anyone because the cool dżaga is you”!
Imaginary interiors invite, want to share the intimacy of a teenage girl's refuge. Tightly outlined pages, just like in a math notebook. Girlish trinkets on the borderline between childhood and adulthood, treasures and junk. The space becomes a cocoon filled with a growing rebellion against expectations.
