Artist's statement:
Not unlike being born, is coming into the light of knowing yourself.
Bold self-acknowledgement, accented with vulnerability and curiosity speaks volumes of a transition from girl to woman.

Director's comments:
The rising of this young photography star is a pleasure to behold.
With this self-portrait panel, No. 4 in her series, Hoogveld places her nude self front and center.
Her intense gaze into her camera is both alluring, magnetic and forboding all at once.
This powerful artist knows what she is about, and is leaving no doors locked as she explores the boundaries of her own sexuality.
