Created in conversation with aerialists Gillian Maurer (they/them) and Jai Fai (they/them), this series of photos is modified with text taken from an ongoing dialogue about transness in performance spaces.
The photos were taken in artist studios in the River Arts District with a Pentax K1000 on Eastman Double-X Black and White film.
