Unafraid of Barriers
Elda J. Stanco
United StatesGALLERYCONVERSATION
Young women today are unafraid to bend and break what have been considered boundaries. We have seen travel distances shorten, walls of division crumble, and countries form unions.

Our mothers were precursors of these changes, but we have witnessed them at a very young age. Many of us are nomads out of need or desire, and this flexibility that our mothers and grandmothers did not have is itself a challenge. We handle this challenge in funny, smart and irreverent ways.
