Defining oneself is difficult; is it societies opinion on a being or a government census categorising people into groups of race, religion, or sexual orientation. The inherent categorization of the qualitative information that makes up ones being, acts as a form of diminishing a person into a piece of

data.


This body of work explores the various facets of identity through cultural and queer aesthetics. The self-portraiture engages with queer politics and histories, referencing Art & Queer Culture by Catherine Lord and Richard Meyer.
  Moreover, the works subtly subvert heterotopias through a
challenging
of the current
nuclear and heterosexual domestic model.


 

the who am i?
series

Having also been inspired by Art Nouveau,
the art preforms as investigations and celebrations of the femme,
through a romanticisation of the female form, from clothing to poses. Without defining or confining oneself into a strict label, the art traverses a
non-conformity to culture through a
sensualisation within the
body.
