who captured Chinese girls' coming-of-age.
罗洋 “Girls” started in 2007 as an ongoing series about the women in her life challenging the modern-day stereotypes of womanhood and femininity in China. She started photographing friends, acquaintances and strangers to represent their own individual experiences being a woman in Eastern culture while processing her own life experiences as well. Her images are honest and intimate depicting the public and private worlds of her subjects as a coming of age project. Spanning over ten years, Luo Yang has been able to observe and document the shifting culture and female representation in China. “What we [the girls and I] have in common”, she says, “are a fragility and braveness inside of us; we face the world with our sincerity”
