The Loveliest Girl in the World ProjectThe Loveliest Girl in the World is a community art project undertaken by photographer, art and social educator
Miina
Savolainen
with ten girls from
Hyvönen
Children's Home. It has taken almost a decade to complete. The project is based on the idea of “empowerment” and the belief that everyone has the right to feel unique and special. The fairytale quality of the photographs reveals a truth often obscured by the rough and tumble of daily life - the person each young girl feels she really is inside. It allows the girls to regard themselves as strong and undamaged people. Slide8
