The series Adoleszenz deals in an artistic way with the mental and psychological changes while growing-up. The term "adolescence" (latin adolescere = „grow“) describes the period of life between late childhood and adulthood. This period is accompanied not only by various biological, but also by a number of psychosocial changes, caused by the search for identity, the confrontation with the adult world and the expectations of parents and family to take responsibility as an adult.
