This photo shoot ties together three main concepts: sexual identity, restraint, and the idea of performance as identity.

​

The pink bondage rope and its transformation into handmade costumes represent the reclamation of what once used to oppress. Inspired by Suspiria (2018), this shoot reframes some of the larger ideas of feminine power into an LGBTQ+ context.
