Girlhood provides a glimpse into the world of young girls and women living in a post-pandemic world in a post-communist landscape. The visual essay discusses the everyday issues these women face. The recurring themes include identity, relationships, the sexualization of their young bodies or the pressure exerted by social networks. The portraits are accompanied by short interviews about the dreams, desires and fears of each girl. The series attempts to present the audience with the key to understanding what it means to be a young woman today.
