Finding & Celebrating Identity Through Art
I am building this platform to document and share my journey back to health through education, creativity and discovery. I've had what you could call a 'heavily experienced' life thus far which has left me exhausted, and in a chronic state of central nervous system burnout making every single day challenging beyond anything I ever thought was livable. Currently learning to de-mask from 4 decades of hiding my neurodiversity to discover who I am underneath it all. 40 years of hiding your truth has a lasting impact on core identity, so I'm softly and slowly stripping back the layers to reveal who I have always been underneath it all, I'm glad you're here to share it with me.
Artistic Liberation and Connection
Uncensored Body and Truth
I Have always been a keen photographer, even starting out in professional event photography, which was going extremely well, until realising I'm not actually well enough to pursue that career path at the moment. So I'm indulging my creative passions into a restorative voyage of self-discovery, healing, repair, invention and expression.
I started a photography BA in 2023 as a way to fire up the synapses, and attempt to reawaken my imagination, and passion for life. It's been a rocky start as chronic fatigue has fought against my will and won out on more occasions than I can list. But my determination and drive to beat this poorly researched disease will always override any relapses in illness.
Artistic Liberation
This is a space for me to express myself freely, without censorship, shadow-bans or morality policing.
I've found most social-media platforms are hostile towards queer people and artists, and by banning or restricting content they directly affect my physiological and psychological wellbeing. There is no policing here, it's about freedom of expression. Unless of course you come here to express negative 'phobic' opinions of any kind then you will naturally be banned instantly. At Expos'd we share love, positivity, affirming conversation and build each other up. The world can be daunting right now for a lot of our queer community (Protect The Dolls!) and this is a safe space for me and for you if you wish, to express yourself freely, with kindness and respect.
A space for connection and shared life, we're all made of stardust.
