and lastly the barbie on the floor, not a clothes barbie but a naked one. i think this was so funny and clever to show that a lot of girls have the same barbie experience where you grow out of the toy but still have it there

the vanity being lived in and carrying character was definitely emphasized through the spilled red nail polish, it shows a lived experience that a rushed girl goes through while getting ready

the ipod stereo and the makeup on the vanity was what showed that not only is this just a vanity but it was used and had character that tied into girlhood

the music that tied to trending songs at the top of the piece tied a modern era though the vibes of this and the items were a little more 2010 vibes

starting with the pieces on the vanity, the PINK nintendo DS was so cute, growing up owning a nintendo was the norm but having the pink nintendo DS was the coolest thing ever

the vanity being the center of the image is a good way of showing this segment of a girls day but i think the little pieces around the furniture was what made it come together and describe its girlhood

not only because of the actual image but the colors and the theme that it portrays was a really good capture of how euphoric it feels to just relax and get ready for the day

another piece that i thought illustrated that feeling was the vanity piece i didn’t catch the name of it but it was a SUPER good representation of a staple that every girl dreams of

adding footage of this interaction made it so much more relatable, using pink and hello kitty as the theme of the camera was what made it more attached to the social construct of girlhood

here is the back of it that had footage of two friends just spending time with each other

their piece “if you give a girl a camera” was such a cute image of how much fun being a girl is

experiencing Syd Lee’s pieces gave me that same refreshment of just loving being a woman

for example one of the best feelings for me is when me and my friends are going out and we’re sitting getting ready and just having a good time without having to gossip or initiate in “mean girl” behavior

but growing out of it and as you get older and finding genuine girl friends is so refreshing, well at least from my personal experience,

for example, growing up going through phases as teenagers, experiencing having the insecurities that come through mean girl situations can be a terrible ideas or even hearing about girl friends being mean to each other is EXTREMELY normal

i think as much as us humans can be mean and awful with societal norms of expectations it’s relieving when you experience little moments of women being nurturing to each other

to me girlhood is so fun and important, i think as women being in touch with our femininity is so fun and nurturing

it was a really mesmerizing experience to sit under the tree and see the inside of the details that the artist included

looking back at it now i didn’t realize how peaceful nature can be, without noticing as a child i chose to sit at that tree because it brought me comfort and peace. i was connected to nature without noticing

the piece resonated with me because as a child i had a deep connection to a tree in our backyard where i would read books for hours in the summer
