For five years Hungarian photographer Lilla Szász photographed women living in shelter houses. She photographed elderly women, young girls who had become criminal, and homeless mothers. She was interested first and foremost in how women find happiness in these extreme circumstances of life.
In Daughters she asked the young girls what the word “beauty” meant for them. The girls then organised the photo shoot; they behaved in front of the camera the way they wished to be seen by the viewer. The outcome is their result, their image: of
happiness and a better life.
