"why did growing up have to mean leaving them" print

Print made from a recent exhibition piece about girlhood, feminisim and the intricacies of societal influence on growing girls. This poiece reflects a lot on my relationship with feminine interests growing up and the pressure to move on from them and mature from child-like joy. This piece is also about inner child healing and how I am achieving that by getting back into collecting plushies and trinkets.
