Our twenties are a bewildering decade, it witnesses the world that we grow up knowing and the person we thought we were fade away.

We start to dabble in the real word, a world much more flawed, much more daunting, and much more cruel than the one we had imagined.

Gradually we learn that some people will slowly exit from your life, and some people will become the reason we can pick ourselves up every day.

We learn that things may not go according to the plan, and we can be completely directionless in life’s twists and turns.

But most importantly, we learn to face every kind of adversity with bravery and resilience; because this is the road to adulthood and it is meant to be paved with hardships.

This project collects, documents and celebrates the stories and journeys of 10 people in their twenties.
