Blossom (of a tree or plant): to produce flowers that develop into fruit. A precious stage of development – still my little girl, and a teenager at the same time. Only eight, she is torn between her imagination and her dreams; she still likes dolls and is comforted by teddy bears, while also dolling up with make-up to play the grown-up. Blossom is a long-term project exploring the life of my daughter from the age of eight until womanhood.
