Description

This split-screen video juxtaposes two young girls waking up and transitioning to wearing headscarves. On the left, a fair-skinned girl with long red hair stretches in her bed in a brightly lit room with white walls. On the right, a young woman with dark hair wakes in a sparsely furnished room. In the subsequent scene, the girl on the left pours milk into a cereal bowl, while the girl on the right prepares food with her hands in the same bowl. The next scene features the girl in the left frame pouring cereal and milk from a carton into a bowl, while the other girl adds grain to her bowl. Both girls have a headscarf covering their heads, symbolizing a shared experience. The final scene shows the girls embraced and kissed on the cheek by women on both sides.
