On Intimacy and Friendship
A new publication from Current Editions
Girltalk
By Jessalyn Aaland
Girltalk collects 154 images of hands—holding, gesturing, displaying—texted between friends over the course of a decade. Everyday moments and their resulting emotions—joy, grief, humor, frustration—become a record of how friendship is sustained across distance and busy lives. What began as fleeting, ephemeral images passed back and forth now forms a visual archive of friendship, care, humor, and presence.
