Growing Pains is a coming of age art and film series by VVSIMA processing life through primary color visuals each depicting their own emotions: Yellow (past) inner child, Red (future) hooyo (mother), pain, anger and wisdom and Blue (present) vulnerable and honest. Growing Pains I starts from a hopeful beginning, a meaningful moment that is meant to be forever, or not. Growing Pains I explores the three emotions through the lens of a Somali eldest daughter's using words of affirmations as a form of self healing.
