My photography looks at the body, its position, its relationship with the environment, “the gaze” of the subject to the camera, and mine alike. I am interested in how people choose to characterise themselves, how they “signify” themselves, their personalities, and their gender. I examine what those signs tell the eye of the observer, whether our representation or our appearance serves us as an “armour” in an attempt to locate the point at which it begins to wear off. My project deals with a community I documented over a year while developing a dialogue between us. The process started out of a prism that examines the self as a flowing, dynamic and ever-changing entity, along with a desire to encourage the possibility of gender fluidity as 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 for looking at a person.
