Volume 1 contains four letter essays written by the author to four young women discussing self-portraits. Through essays, the author discusses topics such as using mirrors, acting, narcissism, filtering, and the birth of social networks.
In the second volume of the photo collection, the author returns to her own old self-portraits and connects them with portraits of other women in their youth living in modern society, expressing the discomfort, doubts, ephemerality and awkwardness of youth. It highlights that emotions are universal and experienced by everyone.
 
The title "I'm Okay" summarizes the strange feeling of an adolescent woman who is between pleasantness and disgust, between childhood and adulthood, between being able to clearly express her feelings and not being able to express them. I'm here.
