A new art installation developed through conversations and creative exchange with LGBTQIA+ community members in Kingston. Bringing together photography, sound and text, the exhibition reflects on how we experience and express identity — through our bodies, relationships, and the environments we move through.

The work creates a quiet, immersive space that considers visibility, care, and the subtle ways we hold one another in community. Developed collaboratively, the work responds to lived experience in Kingston while continuing the artist’s broader interest in portraiture, intimacy and the textures of queer life.
