As a collective, we have chosen to stand in for one another as models - centering ourselves and the connection we have forged over the past year through our shared experiences as artists and queer people.

Creating space for queer representation and collaborative queer art is at the forefront of our collective, as we have found photography can otherwise be a solitary activity. Our collective consists of a wide variety of intersectional perspectives; yet, we find that we have more commonalities than differences. Sharing moments of gender euphoria, learning technical and creative skills from each other, or even laughing about co-parenting a dog with your ex, that is what queer connection can look like. The queer experience is a complex, vast, and beautiful one that deserves to not only be seen, but deeply felt and celebrated.

This project explores the fleeing yet intense and vulnerable connection between the photographer, the observer, and the observed deconstructing the hierarchy of power.
