In her project ‘Lost Boys’, photographer Liz Calvi featured boys, aged between 18 to 25 years old, in their contemplative moments.
Dubbed as the “Peter Pan” generation, these boys find themselves in a state of limbo—after completing their studies, they returned to their parents’ homes as they were uncertain about how they could proceed from there.
In Calvi’s photos, most of the boys appeared pensive, as though they were thinking about what lies ahead of them in life.
Calvi told Fraction Magazine that she wanted to redefine the idea of an “American Dream”, and the ideas that are imposed on these boys.
“I am interested in what home means to these boys in conjunction with what it means to feel happiness and freedom; ideas that we have constructed in relation to the American Dream. These boys are all in a state of repose in their parent’s homes; not the common trajectory for males in accordance to the American Dream,” said Calvi.
