Not a Sheet of Paper

Not a Sheet of Paper reflects the experience of discovering a queer identity while still having to keep it hidden. The photograph centres a Pride flag hanging in a domestic interior, suspended between revelation and concealment. What might usually function as a public symbol of visibility is instead placed within a private space, suggesting the tension between self-recognition and the fear of being fully seen. Through its quiet composition, the work speaks about the weight of assigned labels, the right to redefine oneself and the deeply personal process of finding language for one’s identity.
