Eva Verbeeck

Eva Verbeeck is a Belgian photographer and filmmaker known for her intimate portrait series, 'America’s Girls, On the Edge of a Dream,' which captures the diverse experiences of young women and girls across the United States. Drawing inspiration from her own adolescent years influenced by American pop culture icons like Britney Spears, Verbeeck's work explores themes of gender and identity, challenging traditional narratives surrounding girlhood. After several years living in the U.S. as a photojournalist, she embarked on this six-year project, photographing over 400 girls aged six to 18, aiming to give them agency in how they are portrayed.
