Uniform was created from a deep need to be seen and known. I began wrestling with constructs placed on me as a child and young adult, expectations of who I was and needed to be, and self-inflicted issues around doubt and identity. As those false ideas began to fracture, affecting me and those I care about most, I had no choice but to look for answers or face unacceptable consequences. Uniform was instrumental in helping me find myself along the way.
Uniform is not a statement about the military. Rather it is me stating:
I am not who I have been told I am, in the way soldiers risking their lives are not merely faceless toys for the entertainment of children.
I am a work in progress, and my potential is greater than the limitations placed on me by others.
I am more than, and in some cases not at all, what I have been told I am
