F*AGS is an ongoing collection of digital photo-collages exploring the inseparability of LGBTQ+ identities from the self. Each piece is an assemblage of multiple images into a single portrait. The variety of environments highlights the ever-present awareness of their queer identity as a part of their overall constitution regardless of time and space. Each portrait is divided into shapes overlaid with the colors of a pride flag they identify with. The objective of this series is to highlight queer communities in a time of increasing regression for LGBTQ+ rights and freedoms worldwide, including in the United States. Printed in standard flag dimensions, these images explore the idea that the same affinities we represent with flags can often constitute inseparable aspects of our identity which color our daily lives.
Each piece is comprised of digital photographs edited with the Affinity Suite and titled for their subject.Â
