23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest People
Generation Z
Generation Z has grown up in an era defined by the rise of the internet and an overwhelming abundance of information, news, and awareness. Yet, despite this constant exposure to knowledge, they often find themselves lost in the routines of everyday life. This confusion stems from the paradox they inhabit—a tension between rapid global transformation and the inherited structures of previous generations. They are a generation suspended between worlds, continually seeking to redefine their sense of self in an unstable and ever-changing reality.
