Photography

Bear Witness

When you're not ruled by others' expectations, who do you become? As an alternative drag photographer, I bear witness to transformation every night. Using makeup and clothes to rewrite narratives, these performers reconstruct fear into drag. Their pain is their power, accepting parts of themselves the world has rejected. My work captures this authenticity. Welcome fear into your life, fight the system, and witness the destruction around you; that is where true power lies.
