Beauty: A New Generation

These portraits are an inquiry into the evolution of gender, identity, beauty and alienation. Searching for new narratives of beauty in contemporary culture, I found that young people are more comfortable with the concept of transitioning and impermanence. Fluid identity, Cosplay, and Burning Man Project offer new platforms to inspire expanding definitions of gender and beauty. As a counter-culture operating in a world filled with uncertainty and instability, a new generation is creatively adapting and forming their own unique statements of beauty.
