Elderly: Ms. Niu

Teenager: Erica Kang

The relationship between the elderly and teenagers has various vibrations; I wanted to present a storyline about how the victims grew up but couldn’t forget the hurt they had done to them. Even after so many years, the pain and discrimination persist; however, unlike youth, adults prefer to keep their thoughts to themselves; the hands covering their mouths represent the trauma and embarrassment of concealing the truth. The first vision shoots her, touching the opposite side of her in the reflection of a mirror, but a hand emerges in the dark as if society is addressing, “Keep it to yourself; don’t say it out; you are never pure again.” But touching the opposite side of themselves with despair. The final photo series depicts the victims’ sorrow and determination to escape from stereotypes (the hand covering their mouth) and stand up for themselves. in conclusion, these six images express a timeline and their inner emotions. Teenagers express their feelings when it happens, as do the elderly after the child has grown up and entered society.
