Identity

Photographic Series

This series is about self identity and women. All the sitters in this series identified as women. I had each sitter choose a word they thought identified them self, then, I placed this word strategically on their body empowering them to wear their identity in a public way. This project explores the ways in which women identify themselves, as well as how other people perceive them. For example, when the viewer looks at the women in this series and the word they chose, it allows the viewer a closer look into that sitter’s inner-self and less of how they portray themselves on the outside.
