Juvenescence.

When shooting this series, Juvenescence, I found myself interested in the concepts and ideas of imagination in the real world and the differences in the levels between not only children and adults, but through the different ages of children as well. I explored aspects of childhood like: imaginative play, interactions and engagement with others/environment, U.S. culture, and limitations by societal concepts. I considered the imaginative and naive mind of a child experiencing the world, which is diverging from an adult version which is much less imaginative and aware of realities. I focused on the becoming of a child, the influence of people around a child, and the environment in which they are born into. It is through these captured images that I hoped to document and reveal these influences by describing children in their natural environment as they engage the world in the course of going about their day to day lives.
