Initially from Cleveland, Ohio, and at the moment based mostly in Boston, Massachusetts, photographer Andriana Nativio grew up surrounded by femininity—her mom had six sisters and every had daughters of their very own. Her summers had been spent traversing the lakes, creeks, rivers, and woods of Northeast Ohio along with her cousins—“whereas exploring collectively, we needed to say these areas and make them ours; landscapes we wandered had been reworked into our personal world, a world that was simply woman and simply us.”
Her sequence, “Reliving Girlhood,” follows younger sisters Jae and Jeni, who Nativio met whereas passing by way of LaFollette, Tennessee, on backwoods adventures harking back to her personal childhood experiences. “Reliving my girlhood is unattainable,” she explains, “however the digital camera allowed me to return as near doing so. Each observer and participant, my adventures with them traversed by way of the luxurious woods and darkish waters of their imaginations and the panorama of my childhood recollections.”
