In the “Ephemeral intimacy" project, I explores the blurred boundaries of connections on dating apps. I photographed participants whom I met online to share vulnerable moments and went into their living places. With intentional modesty, I remained fully clothed, directing attention to the unfolding complexities of the human experience. Emphasising nudity within the queer community constructs a narrative capturing both subjective and objective differences in our gaze, questioning the notions of desire, race, and power in the LGBTQ community.
