INTRODUCTION:
After living in large cities, I wanted to come back to the Hudson Valley where I grew up. Unfortunately, even after many years, I have found that this area still has a largely unseen queer presence. Without the support of a needed community, and further isolation due to the ongoing health, social and political crises, I was compelled to explore new relationships with the environments I experienced when I was younger. Returning to these familiar places years later with a different body, I focus on getting to know the unknown self. I capture vulnerable moments in surroundings that have never seen me in this way before.
I explore themes of identity,
presentation, and (in)visibility through the lens of a medically transitioning
person. My current Polaroid project serves as a documentation of surgeries
undergone from 2019 to present. This chosen medium is a stark diversion from
the popular “before and after” transition pictures seen online; consumed and
sometimes fetishized on the internet. I strive to show the transitioning body
in kinship with nature, stressing the integral likenesses between the two that
are so often questioned.
