Adam is a project about Sophie’s younger cousin during his high school years. In this photographic collaboration, they address gender constructs. Together, they capture their present moment as they want it to be. At the same time, they project ourselves into an image-world that suggests a future in which Adam can express himself in any way he chooses. The series is about the passage of time as well as the deceptive simplicity of sharing a moment with someone through portraiture.
