Begun in 2004, Fougeron has followed the lives of her sons Nicolas and Adrien from theages of thirteen and fourteen respectively as they entered adulthood. The book pictures adolescence as a transformativestate, caught between childhood and adulthood, between the feminine and masculine, between innocence andburgeoning self-identity. As both mother and photographer, Fougeron combines a tender transparency for her subjectwith a more distanced view of the world of teenagers.
