Tell us more about your photo by sharing a brief artist statement or answering this prompt: "This is what being ______ means to me..."

This is a triptych of my partner, Belle. They teach me something new everyday; what it means to be queer, what it means to love with complete transparency, what it means to be fluid and in a constant state of motion. They are the most beautiful person I know.

Describe your photo so we can provide alt-text for future visitors to this website. Example: "Two women holding hands and smiling as they walk in a pride parade, surrounded by rainbow flags and a vibrant crowd celebrating LGBTQ+ pride."

This is series of 3 images of a butch person, slightly obscuring their face with their arm. They are alone in a studio looking at the viewer .
