The Weight Of Knowing
Photography
2025
This project examines the emotional complexities of gender dysphoria through everyday objects. The images of my mirror, hairbrush, CD, and socks, paired with personal writing, recontextualize these seemingly insignificant items to reveal the quiet, emotional weight of gender dysphoria. The work exposes the often unspoken realities of living with dysphoria, challenging viewers to reconsider their perceptions of the material world and encouraging reflection on how identity intersects with art, language, and ordinary experiences.
Celebrate the work of OCAD U’s class of 2024/2025!
