Pestka – Photographs and text by Magdalena Switek | LensCulture

Following the moment of adolescent metamorphosis—and release

via LensCulture: https://www.lensculture.com/articles/magdalena-switek-pestka

I have been photographing my daughter for a couple of years now. Pestka follows her liberation from the cocoon of helplessness, like a sunflower seed under the hard shell, waiting for metamorphosis and release. Through the lens of my camera, I watched her grow, her body balancing on the border between innocence and guilt, between unawareness and awareness.
