Robert Klein Gallery is pleased to present a selection of photographs by Boston-based photographer Rania Matar in SHE, a series of portraits depicting women and womanhood across cultural boundaries.
The women photographed in SHE contain multitudes: They’re playful but self-assured; soft yet strong; curious and adventurous. From Massachusetts to Beirut, Matar collaborates with young women to create images that reflect their experiences leaving home and entering adulthood.
"Whereas in earlier projects, I photographed young women in relationship to the curated and controlled environment of their bedrooms," says Matar, "I am photographing them here in the larger environment they find themselves in after they leave home, the more global and complicated backdrop that now constitutes their lives in transitions."
