In this exhibition, New York-based transgender artist Elle Pérez explores love, sex and friendship as well as the vulnerability, agency and power dynamics that result from intimate relationships.

Through striking choices in proximity, scale, color, light and cropping, Pérez creates vivid and at times otherworldly depictions of bodies in motion, stillness or embrace. Themes of touch and landscape course through this new series while water recurs as a unifying natural element.

An ambiguous narrative emerges from Pérez’s carefully sequenced images — moments of grief and care, pain and pleasure, desire and self-exploration — creating space for us to reflect on how we define ourselves and our lived experiences in relation to others and the wider world.
