My photography looks at the body, its positioning, its relationship with the environment, the “gaze” of the subject at the camera, and mine alike. I am interested in the way people choose to characterise themselves, the way they "signify" themselves, their personalities. I examine what those signs tell the eye of the observer, whether our representation or our appearance serve as an "armour", in an attempt to locate the point at which it begins to wear off.

 

My project deals with a group of people which I documented over the course of a year while developing a dialogue between us, out of a prism that examines the self as a flowing, dynamic and ever-changing entity, arising from a desire to encourage the possibility of gender fluidity, at the heart of which lies freedom of choice.

 

In my media, I seek to break through the boundaries of familiar definitions to allow fluidity to become present, and ultimately, to offer an entry point of looking at a person.

The project was shot analogically on a 6x6 Hasselblad and a 35mm.
