This Is What a Lesbian in Love Looks Like
[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)
This photograph captures a quiet, intimate moment of self-recognition and joy. It is a reflection of love—not just the love my girlfriend has for herself, but the love that surrounds her. Getting ready for a wedding is often seen as a routine act, but here, it is a statement of presence, of belonging, of being fully seen.
To love openly, to take up space without apology—this is what it means to exist authentically. This is what a lesbian in love looks like.
