My adolescence took place within the context of a strict Mennonite community and was further complicated by a family history of stigmatized and concealed mental illness. My own struggles with depression and anxiety, along with leaving the faith traditions of my family, during adolescence have continued to affect me well into adulthood. As a photographer, I explore my own past, the lost innocence of girlhood, and the ramifications of this loss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eYesterday We Were Girls\u003c\/em\u003e includes photographs selected from my family albums, primarily made by my male relatives, and current images I create based on childhood memories.

To illustrate this paradox, each photo in the book is titled with the inflation rate based on the date it was taken. The project commences in late December 2021, setting a baseline of 0% inflation. Through two visits, roughly a year apart, the subsequent photographs document the rise of inflation, culminating at 110% a year later.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe result is a striking visual narrative that captures the complexity of Argentina’s path, where economic potential and reality collide. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Andreas Billman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56835019997566,"sku":null,"price":38.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/2593\/1985\/files\/dead-cow-rising-8244644.jpg?v=1773753324"},{"product_id":"mi-perro","title":"Mi Perro","description":"\u003cp\u003eFirst edition of Mi Perro by Ronald Pizzoferrato.

Global Tools (1973-75) included an experimental and multidisciplinary program of educational workshops with the aim of stimulating the free development of individual creativity. With the trip \/ performance on the Rhine, the artists explored the theme of “communication” in a closed and segregated environment, such as that of a trip organised on a boat: from this limited context, marked by regular rhythms and by a reduction at the minimum terms of any influence from the outside world, the participants’ behaviour, their interactions, in short, the communication processes emerge.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ugo La Pietra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56859043529086,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/2593\/1985\/files\/viaggio-sul-reno-settembre-1974-8462787.jpg?v=1773753263"},{"product_id":"fine-pena-mai","title":"Fine Pena Mai","description":"\u003cp\u003eFirst edition of Fine Pena Mai by Veronica Barbato.
