Portraits

 

Between 2021 and 2024,  40 Boy portraits were made as a form of storytelling. Partly autobiographical, partly as a modern story, the portraits depict a story that wants to show that real diversity cannot simply be captured in a rainbow flag or letters of the alphabet. The representation of children's queer identity through portrait is unique in the world and never seen before. You can read some of the background here.
