teenage dream: the series is a deeply personal and introspective multi-part video series that takes the viewer on a journey - one that begins with deconstructing the teenage life stage and ends with confronting what it means to grow beyond it. Through cultural history, social analysis, and personal storytelling, the series unpacks the myths, histories, and ideologies that have shaped our understanding of youth. Starting with the origins of teenagehood as a social construct, the series unravels the expectations, anxieties, and frameworks that define our youth. It then shifts inward, turning toward my own experiences: examining masculinity, shame, self-perception and the emotional weight carried from adolescence into adulthood. In doing so, teenage dream: the series is both an exploration and a reckoning - a space where grief, self-discovery and transformation collide, leading to a final act of reimagination.
