Looking (2024)
How do you capture the complexities of identity through photo?
Identity is a tricky thing isn’t it.
Like a recipe, there can be a multitude of names for the same dish.
And like a dish, there can be a multitude of recipes that may seem confusing or contrasting on the outside looking in.
In Looking (2024), I wanted to capture the beauty of what happens when two identities, which have historically seperated in media. What does it mean to LOOK queer , culturally catholic, a mexican, a cactus and her fruit? The legacies of colonialism haunt me and my family everyday, resulting in a fracture between identity and culture. This piece is an attempt to bridge the two.
