Not a woman/Not a child…
A quick glance at her fact sheet tells us that Bogdana B. is 19 years old. But a lingering glance at any of the photos in this subtly brilliant set by Catherine tells us a whole lot more than Bogdana’s physical age. These photos perfectly capture a female in the middle of a miraculous transition — the metamorphosis of a girl into a woman.
In so many of these photos Bogdana displays both sides of a body and personality in transition. In some her eyes are innocent, playful. In others her eyes are knowing, sophisticated, and mature well beyond her years. She is no longer a girl, this much is quite obvious. And yet, closer examination of her expression tells us that she is not quite yet completely a woman. Bogdana B., at the time these photos were taken, is captured at a particularly exquisite moment in her personal development. This moment will not last long. But these photos freeze that moment, they expose that moment and preserve that moment.
In “Sensuality,” Bogdana is part girl, part woman, and all beautiful!
