[Artist Statement] Tell us more about your photo by sharing a brief artist statement OR answering this prompt: "This is what being ______ means to me..." (Max. 100 words)
Through my work, I navigate the lesbian gaze through my desires, making intimate and tender portraits. While creating a record of my lived experiences to show the nuanced fabric of lesbian existence, I'm driven by the themes of desire, closeness, body language and longing, with particular emphasis on relationships with past and present lovers.
[Visual Description] Describe your photo so we can provide alt-text. Example: "Two women holding hands and smiling as they walk in a pride parade, surrounded by rainbow flags."
Two lovers in bed with their legs interlocked and hands grasping one another's bodies.
