Queer identity explores the creation of personal growth and intimate connections. Working collaboratively with LGBTQ+ individuals in their 20s, a shared space is formed where vulnerability and strength coexist, to make images that express each person's individuality. Through shared authorship, fixed identities refuse the rigidity of societal expectations, choosing instead to honour the ever-shifting nature of queer becoming. 

Opposed to capturing fixed identities, Between Sapphic traces the relational process of queer becoming, how gestures, conversations and proximity shape each person’s collaboration and way of being guides the tone of each print, directing the form it takes. This collaboration embraces sapphic identity through intersectionality and advocates for the generative power of queer ambiguity.

Through tactile means of production, small worlds are created between photographer and muse. These handmade prints offer insight into the spaces taken to create these images, echoing the textures of lived experience and grounding queer expression within emerging realities. Opposed to self-portraiture, landscape and documentary images accompany the portraits, constructing an archive of personal sapphic lineage, mapping desire, memory and the quiet power of self-recognition.

Selenium toned, silver gelatine prints.
