GUP #021
Theme: Young at Heart
Knowing your own mind, even though decisions are sometimes irrational and merely the result of confused feelings. There are often feelings in their purest form: unpolished and straight from the heart. Try seeing things through the unbiased, receptive eyes of a child sometime.
The world may look completely different, as Jennifer Loeber shows with her idealistic summer community. Lauren Greenfield reveals the flip side of this impressionability: thanks to the influence of the mass media young people believe prematurely that they are already; the irony of being adults. Then there are those who retain the capacity to be amazed by the small things around us, like Natasha Libbert.
