27 Diary Pages

27 Diary Entries' is a mixed media installation exploring the transition from childhood's sheltered innocence to adult consciousness. Through twenty-seven paired photographs and writings, the work juxtaposes images of protected youth—captured in familiar snapshots of family warmth—against raw, contemporary poetry and prose that grapples with life's mounting complexities. This dialogue between past and present creates a poignant tension: each piece contrasts the cushioned safety of childhood with the gradual unraveling of that security, documenting how we reconcile our protected past with the vulnerable process of growing up. The installation serves as both a memorial to lost innocence and a testimony to the wisdom that accompanies maturity.
