“Crossing Boundaries” is the subject of the Young Photographers Alliance to be presented 25 October, 6 to 10 pm at the WNDO Space, 361 Vernon Avenue, Venice.
During the summer of 2014 four photographers–Shane King, Marke Liimatainen, Taylor Martin, and Erica Meza–worked with young women at a rehab center run by The Teen Project. The young women there had faced a range of challenges, from gang violence to drug addiction and domestic abuse. Each photographer approached the project with the theme of “boundaries” in mind. Boundaries can be constructive–setting limits on behavior, resisting the negatives influences from others–or they can be destructive, driving people into emotional and physical isolation.
Through this project, the artists inform viewers about the problems faced by others and highlight the important work done by The Teen Project to help people improve their
lives.
