DISCOmfortable

DISCOmfortable is a series of 31 photographs and 2 videoworks, showcased in a solo Exhibition in Bochum, December 2023.

Portraits of young queer individuals in the Ruhr area, Germany and London, England.

The images explore the tension between comfort and discomfort, showing people in spaces of safety, intimacy, and belonging, as well as in environments of unease. The series reflects on how queerness interacts with place, how certain settings can either embrace or alienate, empower or expose.
