Why does society place such immense pressure on youngsters in their twenties? This installation delves into this transformative decade, using a series of tear-off calendars and personal photographs. In their twenties individuals face heightened societal expectations: society demands success, self-definition, and the establishment of relationships.

These expectations reflect broader societal shifts like economic uncertainty, mental health struggles, and changing cultural norms. The tear-off calendar, a symbol of time's passage, reflects the fleeting yet impactful experiences of this decade. Each torn calendar page symbolizes renewal and the subtle yet profound transformations shaping us. Behind each page a photo series captures moments of growth, fear, resilience, and self-discovery.

This installation highlights the significance of pushing beyond comfort zones, where genuine progress happens—not only on a personal level but as part of a greater cultural change throughout this important decade.
