Rania Matar situates her new series of photographs of female adolescents and womanhood in relationship to her own position as a Lebanese-Palestinian-American woman and mother. Her portraits, begun during a Mellon residency at the Gund Gallery, pose questions about what it means to be a girl and woman, whether in rural Ohio, the suburbs of Massachusetts, or the streets of Beirut, and exposes vulnerabilities, difference and individuality amid the beauty of transition.
