Rania Matar: A Girl And Her Room

    Lebanese photographer Rania Matar photographs young women from around the world in their most private space - their bedroom, giving us viewers “an edgy and titillating peek into the lives of teenage girls”, as Artshound.com puts it.

    Rania Matar derived inspiration for this project from her own teenage daughter and watching her grow from girlhood into adulthood. “As I observed her and her girlfriends, I became fascinated with the transformation taking place, with the adult personality shaping up, with an insecurity and a self-consciousness that are now replacing the carefree world the girls had lived in so far”, she writes.
    Notice how most girls have posters of rock stars, political leaders or top models above a bed still covered with stuffed animals. Mirrors were always an important part of the room, a reflection of the girls' image to the outside world. (Also see: Where Children Sleep)

    Rania Matar has photographed over 125 girls so far and she is not yet done.
