In her dreamlike series 'Reverie' — a fictionalized, coming-of-age account of five girls over four acts of friendship — photographer Arabelle Zhuang reimagines her own girlhood
, Zhuang experienced a restricted social life in her home."Being traditional Asian parents, they didn't really give me the freedom to do what normal children do," the photographer said."Most of the time I was at home -- I didn't have the experience of simple things like sleepovers." Zhuang longed for a girl gang of her own."It was quite a lonely childhood for me and I didn't really have that many friends.
Though Zhuang only shot"Reverie" during a short period in 2019, the story she chose to tell spans childhood and adulthood. Zhuang chose four critical moments in the girls' lives -- childhood play, the beginning of school, the pressures of the digital age and the confidence of womanhood -- and had them act out each part.
