A Bird in a Cage 



In the beginning of puberty a reality breaks into pieces and the world becomes an insecure place. Externally life continues as before; the inner revolution stays hidden from others. It is not discussed with teachers or parents, and friends get to see only what’s socially acceptable.

I discovered old diaries and letters written by people in their early teens. Combining them to portraits of present teens, I constructed a tale of growth pains, of defining of limits and of first love.
