selves
i see me, looking at u, looking at me.
assimilating u as a part of my inner voice,
i am u, u are me and we are not alone.
u are the gaze that cradles me, punishes me, understands me,
and for that i respect u, i validate u, i accept u.
when i am lost i will look to u and u will see me.

seeing my body as something that is continuously transforming, these photographs act as records of time, tracing memories, processing, bodily changes, an archive to reflect on my past-selves in relation to who i am now and am becoming
and in multiplying the self, mirrored, cloned and living together in the present i want to represent the importance of care each of our ‘selves’ can provide when we reflect and are met with the union of our past

(me)
(to say goodbye to a summer)
(infatuated with my first trans love, who’s body felt like an echo of mine, who’s sweat smelt like mine, especially after sex, indistinguishable, who’s words intoxicated my thoughts, and planted and grew an imaginable cool and comfortable kind of love that constantly made me curious to know more about who they are, we’re, becoming and festered as something that wasn’t mine at all, a kind of love that saw trans in my body and in my mind and understood what i stood for, that grew too, is growing, seeing myself in someone else, seeing myself, seeing myself (seeing myself) who i am and who i’m a part of, how my bodies unique queering questions were answered in a way that i could hold in the familiarity of a body knowing mine)
(now in passing)(at different speeds)(it’s always go)
(sometimes i smell myself to return to their body)(or was it my body)
((was it always me))
