Tomboy is an editorial concept exploring the moment a girl first feels the weight of misogyny—when the boys stop passing her the ball at recess, when her body becomes something to be noticed, policed, and contained. It juxtaposes the raw, unselfconscious joy of girlhood with the quiet self-erasure of womanhood.

On one side, there is movement, laughter, and defiance—mud on knees, hands gripping handlebars, a frog resting in an open palm. On the other, bodies fold inward, arms crossed, legs drawn close, corseted and bound by an unspoken understanding: the world no longer belongs to them in the same way. The color palette shifts from earthy greens and browns to muted pastels, mirroring the fading of freedom into self-awareness.

Tomboy is a study of loss—of ease, of belonging, of a self that once moved without hesitation. But within that loss, there is also a quiet rebellion, a refusal to fully surrender.
