Artist Statement

I photographed non-binary individuals walking around the city, highlighting their clothing, expressions, and gestures. All the participants look and act differently to show how there isn’t just one way to be non-binary. Throughout the photo shoots I talked to the models about their style and how they perform their gender. I took quotes from each person and added them into the photos as subtitles to contextualize the work and make it even more personal to each individual that is showcased.  My aim for this series is for many other non-binary people to see it and feel validated within their own gender identity. Providing them a wide variety of non-binary models to relate to.
