We live in a society that tells us there are only two biological sexes, and only two acceptable social representations of gender.
Science proves differently.
Life shows us differently.
Art celebrates us differently.
All of us are born a blank slate.
A beautiful, unique body through which we get to experience our incredible life.
The way we present our body in the world and the
way we express our gender identity is just as varied and unique as our biological chromosome combinations.
This project is designed to celebrate the (X)-pression of YOU.

This project is focused on creating a powerful portrait experience and images that allow you to
celebrate the way you express your gender identity.
This project will be photographed with the end goal of each participant having their portrait be part of a series to be published online and also in a printed magazine. Public display and other publication options for this series of images are currently being explored.
If you are NOT comfortable with your images being shared publicly you are still welcomed to participate. The comfort and privacy of every participant is of highest priority.

While many of us were only raised knowing of only two biological sex chromosome markers
XX - female and XY - male
there are actually many biological sex chromosome marker combinations.
Varied chromosomes markers / intersex is more common than most of us may realize, representing just under 2% of the all babies born, comparable to the occurrence of natural redheads.
While there are many chromosome combinations that make up our biological sex markers, (and varied physical expressions of those markers) it is fun to note that ALL fetuses begin with some version of combination(s) of the X chromosome. In fact, the only combination of chromosomes NOT compatible with life are YY or only Y.
Instead of seeing life as binary, science show us we are actually all an expression based on ONE life giving chromosome.
