This artwork was created as part of the Girlhood and Later Life research project led by Professor Penny Tinkler, with a workshop facilitated by Jenna Ashton from DWAN (Digital Women’s Archive North).
My Teen in a Piece is a personal reflection, capturing fragments of my teenage years through visual and written expression. The work weaves together memories, emotions, and identity, creating a snapshot of a formative time in my life. It also incorporates a text originally exhibited in 2016, bringing past and present into dialogue.
This piece serves as both a personal archive and a broader contribution to the collective exploration of girlhood across different cultural and generational contexts
