The break between semesters often feels like a moment of drift. We are all of a sudden devoid of the artificial purpose injected by school. Photographers Ghislaine Taubman and Marbella Marlo investigated that space with their cameras over break. The Harvard Independent presents the series, Transition:
We tumble into the break, free and exuberant. Free of worldly shackles we hedonistically descend into Winter.
We ripple onwards, bouncing over the chaos of family, friends and unfamiliarly familiar living arrangements. Relief is still elusive, comfort hasn’t been found.
The season turns from excitement to solemn cheer. Holidays approach bringing with them prescribed rites of joy.
Honor the babe. Is snow that pure?
A new year, reinvigorate us. A yearly infantilization that opens doors of possibilities.
Now we drift.
Before we know it the break is over. Back to screens, back to our scheduled programming.
