This is Oceana. From my project INVISIBLE. It is my attempt to present transgender people in their own, individual, honest way. INVISIBLE aims to add to the voices that fight prejudice; it intends to question our assumptions and with any luck, inspire others to do the same.
Assumption: an unexamined belief or proposition accepted as true without proof, acting as cognitive shortcut, often leading to incorrect conclusions. They are foundational to arguments, decisions, and daily, implicit thoughts.

Pictured here is Vulvette Underground.
Vulvette Underground is Valérie's joyous mission to free the vulva from taboo. Through art she seeks to share her experience and knowledge; help women regain self confidence, in many cases contribute to a healing process; celebrate beauty, promote diversity and inclusion. Self expression, freedom and passion for life are at the core of her work. I had a lot of fun shooting her interview and couldn't be happier about the enlightening conversation.
Photographed here is Valérie, wearing one of the many Vulva masks she has made. The mask was the first vulva piece she designed and made back in her days as an art student.
