They/Them Project



They/Them Project is an ongoing portrait and interview series documenting the lived experiences of gender nonconforming and Trans+ individuals. Each participant is photographed and shares their story in their own words, creating a contemporary record of identity, language, and self-definition. Through portraiture and narrative, the project functions as a living archive — preserving voices, perspectives, and presence within a shifting cultural landscape.

The interviews expanded into recorded conversations and podcasts, extending the reach of the work beyond portraiture. The project has been exhibited in public gallery spaces and has led to speaking engagements with organizations, educational institutions, and corporate teams seeking deeper understanding around gender identity and inclusive culture. These conversations have always centered participating subjects — the work exists to amplify their voices, not reinterpret them.

While the project has paused, its intent remains active. New interviews and exhibitions are in development, with continued efforts to bring the work into institutions and public spaces.
