For my fourth photo essay, I decided to emulate Rania Matar's well-known photo book, "A Girl and Her Room." Her book gives us insight into the lives of girls in the United States versus girls in Lebanon by taking intimate photographs of them in their respective rooms. These fine art portraits show so much more than just the girl and her room, but they also portray the girl's personality and identity. The portraits are very candid. I wanted to do something similar, because I've always thought that my room was an extension of my identity, which is why I've always spent so much time in my room. It's like my personalized world and everyone who enters my room always says: "It's so you!" This idea inspired me to see if this was the case for different girls as well. This photo essay helped me realize that each girl's room expresses her true identity through its color, what it holds, and how everything is arranged.
