Surge
Surge explores the emergence of early adulthood and the impending arrival of awareness and sexuality. Examining race and gender roles, Surge investigates Western culture’s impact upon the notion of love between men and women, and same sex relationships. These series of portraits investigate gender roles and the perceived blurring aggression of men and tender sexuality of women, a young girl’s turbulent transience to womanhood and having to confront the male gaze.
