Jodi Weisz, Tension (DOCO 2022)

I found documenting these moments were an expression of my own curiosity. I didn't know exactly what I was capturing at the time because I was also experiencing what I was documenting. I realise I was exploring the tension between the light-heartedness of these fleeting moments and a looming sense of darkness that came with the expression of this age. I ended up with a collection of images that help me understand the culture of teenage party scenes and how they create space to explore themselves and learn how to exist with others in this tension.
