Arab and American teenagers open their bedroom doors

  

"More than two decades later, her experience as a teenager and young woman in both countries has inspired her to photograph more than 300 American and Middle Eastern girls in their bedrooms.

The result, an exhibition called 'A Girl and her Room' opening Friday at The Mosaic Rooms in London, shows American, Lebanese and Palestinian teenage girls in their most personal spaces. It includes girls in Palestinian refugee camps.

Matar said: 'Some of the girls you wouldn't know where they were from unless you read the captions.'"

I think that this exhibition is a nice, creative idea. Matar decided to photograph teenagers in their bedrooms and that little idea grew into something spectacular. This idea consist of taking pictures of female teens' room. This bring girls from around the world together and unites. At the same time, it shows differences between how different people live and what their room may mean to everyone.
