IDENTITY
As human beings, we can manipulate the way we play with he idea of identity through the way we dress, act, and present ourselves as a whole. Playing with “the real, the fiction, and the performance,” my goal was to put myself in someone else shoes, and push the limits of identity itself. I worked with the idea of queer stereotypes to not only shed light on the general patterns of those in the community, but to ask the question, “Why is there a persistent need to label one’s sexuality based on how they come across to others in a given setting?” I created a series of photographs, shot on Polaroid film, to capture a raw, unfiltered moments highlighting the stereotype at hand.
