There is only a small handful of classic graphs that show up in pediatrics – the height curve, weight curve, head circumference curve, and bilirubin curve. And they’re beautiful things to behold. But what those curves cannot depict, even with their wavy growth spurts, is the development of the human soul, how it reconfigures itself over and over through experiences that are, just like height and weight, common to us all. So, I have striven to capture the “growth curve of the soul” through sequential portraits of an anonymous girl, from the time she first emerges from the womb to when she graduates from college.
