Elevator Going Down

An elevator going between the world of girlhood to adulthood, or what’s really a “man’s world.” I wanted to show how awkward it is to be an 18 year-old girl. In my head I’m still the same as I was in middle-school, a kid just bumbling about. However, at work, the chills I get from middle aged men thinking it’s appropriate to ask if I have a boyfriend (and “am I sure?” when I say yes) is a constant reminder that I always have to be careful. No matter what achievements I make, how mature I become, at the end of the day, I am stepping into a world not meant for me. This piece is meant to show the worlds of “men and women” and “adulthood and childhood” from my perspective.
