Through my work, I navigate the lesbian gaze through my desires, making intimate and tender portraits of my relationships. While delving into my personal exploration of sexual chemistry, I’m also examining the ambiguous space between comfort and eroticism. When highlighting the ever-evolving nature of the truest parts of my sexuality, I strive to convey my magnetism toward nourishment and care in my relationships with my collaborators. My goal is to publicly display lesbian eroticism that doesn’t cater to the male gaze, as an act of recovery. Lesbians are usually spoken for instead of being the ones who are the ones taking up the space, that they rightfully deserve. I want to give my work ample room to flourish, and hold space for a deeper conversation around lesbian visibility.
