Ayman Kaake, Venus as a Boy (People)

“ He’s confortable with his own skin”, is usually seen as a compliment. It means that the person in question knows who he (or she) is and content with that sense of identity. I dare speculate that it’s a condition to which we all aspire. Unfortunately, many people around the world lack that inner peace because of gender identity. Regardless of what others think about such an existential situation, people who feel uncomfortable with the biology with which they were born often suffer greatly over this conflict within their hearts ands minds. In this portrait, I wanted to find a delicate way to treat difficult subjects as sexuality and the discovery of ones identity.
