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 the way people choose to characterise themselves, the way they "signify" themselves, their personalities, 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 which I documented over the course of 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 for 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 of looking at a person.
