Who´s the man

And which of the two of you is the man of the relationship?

This project was born from the estrangement I feel when I am asked this question.

Everybody Wants to Leave Here

"Everybody Wants to Leave Here" (2024) is a poignant AI-generated photography series that delves into the rarely documented aftermath of historical raids on lesbian bars. While these spaces have often been romanticized as sanctuaries of love and community, the series exposes the harsh reality that queer women faced: frequent police raids, violence, and the pervasive threat of persecution. By reimagining these fraught moments, the series sheds light on the resilience and sacrifice of those who sought solace and solidarity in these bars, revealing the high price they paid for their courage to belong. Through hauntingly realistic imagery, "Everybody Wants to Leave Here" captures the turmoil and bravery of an often overlooked chapter in LGBTQ+ history.
