These are photos from Chino Otsuka from her series “Imagine Finding Me” they are of Chino as a little girl and her as an adult in the same picture like the one above.

“Otsuka explains of the both the nostalgic and unfamiliar territory probed within the set. the portraits taken of the artist as a youngster — shyly posing in front of her family home, and whimsically enjoying a baguette on a trip to paris — united with the mature and developed woman she presently is, invite the viewer to imagine what might have been, and provoke a poignant awareness of the brevity of time.” – Via Design Boom
