This work is a reaction to the commodification of queer identity, particularly within social media platforms such as Tumblr and Instagram. By centering the work around the figure of the femboi, a figure that often exists at the margins of queer communities, I'm hoping to create a space for queerness that isn't centred around consumerism or the male gaze. I want viewers to question the relationships between power, desire, and pleasure within this work, and to consider the ways in which queer bodies are represented and heard within the contemporary art world.
