Fearless Flowers is a photographic project exploring gender, sexuality, identity and the gaze in contemporary South Korea. Developed over two years in Seoul with 23 participants, the work grew from my life and practice there rather than an outsider’s perspective. I was interested in social pressures surrounding gender, sexuality, family and belonging within a society shaped by traditions and expectations. Through intimate and constructed portraits, the project considers how we see ourselves, how others see us, and what happens when these perspectives collide. Shot primarily on analogue film, the images emerged through conversations, trust and collaboration, allowing each participant to shape how they wanted to be seen. Rather than defining identity, Fearless Flowers creates space for ambiguity, vulnerability and self-expression.
