TITLE: Born between World War I and II
The series of portraits presents ex girl students of a local high school (Policka, Czech Republic) who were born between 1918 and 1938. In 2019 this school celebrated its 100th anniversary. On this occasion I looked for former students and photographed them. These eight portraits show the faces of the oldest female graduates still alive. The oldest of them is 102 years old and she graduated in 1938.
