this project is a collaborative cross-disiciplinary work weaving documentary video, photography, printing on textiles, and interviews together to explore queer experience and how queer people relate to their own bodies and their appearance. I’ve learned a lot about my own gender expression through queer people who are close to me and I’m inspired by them constantly to question how I identify. I was lucky to have three close friends participate in this iteration of the project: Sol, Rasier, and Kayla. throughout the multiple stages of this project  and in the conversations I had with the three of them, I’ve explored ideas about the body and our various relationships to it, about dressing as affirmation, and about physical presentation as a mode of communication.

an interview and documentary process exploring queer aesthetics, body politics, and our relationships to our physical presentation.
