Inspired by Virginia Woolf’s seminal essay, A Room of One’s Own is a photographic series exploring the emotional landscapes of girlhood through the private spaces of young women. Shot on 35mm film and digital, the project captures girls and young women in their bedrooms — spaces that act as both sanctuaries and stages for self-invention.
These portraits are intimate yet composed, often merging natural light with personal objects, posters, clothes, and textures that reflect each subject’s interior world. The series sits at the intersection of documentary and constructed image-making, revealing how bedrooms become sites of vulnerability, identity formation, and resistance to societal expectations.
The use of analog photography adds a tactile softness and a sense of temporal distance — as if each image is part memory, part present moment. While many images are shot on 35mm film, the series also incorporates digital photography — allowing for a fluid interplay between memory and immediacy, nostalgia and realism. This combination reflects the emotional complexity of girlhood itself: curated and chaotic, tender and bold.
A Room of One’s Own not only documents the visual codes of girlhood but also aims to challenge the way it has been represented in the past.
