"Growing Pains was a curatorial project that explored the tension between growing up and holding on when so many childhood memories are embedded physically in the objects we keep and the physical environments we grow up in. Growing Pains was a group exhibition that explored nostalgia, transition, and the bittersweetness of outgrowing the stage of life we were in. This project investigated the transitional stage my generation is in currently as we navigate adulthood." - Ella Peck
