This project was part of the Adobe Creative Residency Community Fund. Thanks to Adobe and the amazing Creative Residency team for supporting me and giving me the chance to show my art.
The project was inspired by the pride flag, which was designed by Gilbert Baker in 1974. The flag became the symbol for the LGBTQI* community and the flight for equality.
"There will not be a magic day when we wake up and it's now okay to express ourselves publicly. We make that day by doing things publicly until it’s simply the way things are."

This shoot is my way of celebrating Pride and the strength and beauty of the LGBTQI* community. There might be no parades this year, but we are still celebrating, honoring and fighting. Not just in July, but every day.
Happy Pride!
