From birth, we are given identities and as we continue through life, we take on new ones as well as disassociate or modify pre-existing ones. As early as I can remember, I have memories of other children being able to put a label to my assumed sexuality and adults questioning me about my playtime tendencies. I was raised in a Catholic household and soon those ideals would come to clash with me embracing and reclaiming the feelings and thoughts I acknowledged as early as 5 years old. In adulthood as an openly gay man, I later came to find a social hierarchy within my own community in which my femininity, complexion, and body type would lead to be ascribed other identities. A 49 image grid, this body of work reflects the inherent conflict in some of my identities as well as the movement towards inner peace of forging my own understanding of who I am as a person.
