the object of duality –

This project challenges the gaze on queerness and gender. Who decides what physical traits are feminine and which are masculine. In this shoot, two Black queer individuals who identify as androgynous beings depicted what their gender identity means to them and also how the world perceives them. This series challenges society’s perception of gentry identity. The fabric selected for the backdrop showcase different flesh tones of the brown skin spectrum. When asked ‘What makes you feel confident in your gender?’ muse DJ responded with the sentiment, “I define my own gender expression, who I am is not for anyone else to decide.”
