This project investigates the notion of being homosexual and its public connotations. The photographer hopes to re-present and re-introduce homosexual individuals through mundane and everyday situations and personalities. Focusing on the act of holding hands – an innocent gesture that holds much intimacy – this series looks at how two different individuals holding hands could lead to different stereotypical views. The images aim to challenge social stereotypes and ambiguities, and question the irrational prejudice against homosexual individuals.
