404 Identity

"The negatives I carried within me have finally developed."

Exploring LGBTQ+ identity through portraiture in contemporary China, giving visibility to lives often left in the shadows.

Role:

Art Director / Photo Editor / Curator

Concept

A photo-artistic exhibition using portraiture and costume to reveal the everyday realities of LGBTQ+ individuals in China. Each portrait, interpreted by a close friend of the artist, becomes a quiet act of resistance. As art director and curator, I guided the visual narrative and exhibition layout to create a socially conscious, deeply personal space where identities are seen and felt.
