Director Statement

For years, I avoided being in photos; not out of vanity, but out of fear. I believed I struggled with body image, but the truth was deeper: I was grappling with my queerness.

The act of being seen terrified me. Even in photos where I smiled, I felt exposed, convinced others could see what I wasn’t ready to admit. When I finally came out, most people weren’t surprised. Looking back, neither am I.

Picture is my way of reclaiming visibility. It’s about confronting the fear of being known, and choosing to embrace the parts of myself I once tried to hide from myself and others.
