Masc for Masc I, is inspired by the coded language often used on gay hookup and dating apps, where men who identify as “Masc” explicitly seek out others who are “Masc Only.” This work offers a literal, and critical, interpretation of a term that exposes the exclusionary and often discriminatory dynamics within the queer community itself.
Masc for Masc I is part of a 8 month research into analogue photography and printing. "If you know, you know" is my queerest work yet - a raw, unapologetic journey into queerness, kink, and fetishism. Shot entirely on analogue film, the series embraces texture, imperfection, and authenticity. This body of work doesn't aim to explain itself - it speaks in code, in authenticity. It invites those who know to feel seen, and those who don't to lean in.
