The works investigate the fluidity and ambiguity of sexual identity and explore the performative nature of gender. I have depicted subjects who defy preconceived norms and conventional gender binaries as they go about preparing themselves to face the world. In so doing, I have endeavoured to celebrate the inherent beauty which is to be found in the plasticity and nebulosity of gender. By highlighting the falseness of the male/female dichotomy, I hope to encourage an appreciation of the nuances and complexities of the human condition which cannot be definitively categorized or constrained.
