Photos from UnderStated Episode 9 Between The Sheets: The Halle Hirota Interview Creative Director: @cyriledet9830 Photographer: @christinedang_ Full photo archive available on are.na. Link in bio.

I loved this one so much, the raw audio could easily be a podcast episode. Halle and I spoke about her work as a photographer, and how she uses it to explore her lens on femininity. My favourite thing about this interview is our extended conversation on how people perceive the human body, and what it says about their understanding of eroticism and sensuality. I had a bit of an understanding of Halle’s work prior to this, but after this interview I’m thoroughly sold. All in on Halle. The full transcript is a very extensive look at Halle’s inner world, and I’m very grateful for the trust she placed in me to help tell her story. It’s vulnerable and beautiful. I’m excited for you all to read. Full interview available now, link in bio. Creative Director/Interviewer: @cyriledet9830 Photographer/Graphic Designer: @christinedang_

With femininity as her playground, @hallehirota blends the erotic and erudite. Her latest exhibition, “Between The Sheets” captures the utility of the sensual with its textile focus. We caught up with Halle last November at her exhibit, and chatted about stripping, shooting and censorship. Full interview available now, link in bio.

By Any Means is a project that I hold dear to my heart. Not only because of the important message that this short film holds, but also due to the journey it took to make. The production of @byanymeans_film was fulfilled through a wholeeepa commitment & perseverance, that took each and every member of the crew in-front + behind of the camera to execute. Thank you Mel & Jamal for trusting me to help bring this story to life, with the art of Production Design & my first ever storyboard. It was such a pleasure to be apart of a vision with such passion and authenticity. Stories like these matter. Representation matters. Community matters. Big up Jane & Finch + the Toronto-Somali Community. Big up all the creatives that do this for their younger selves. To all that strive to see more people that look like them & come from similar upbringings — on the big screen🌟
