Transition.kieren #There’s a line from Wuthering Heights that always comes to mind on low days when I’m asked how I am -- ‘I wish I were a girl again, half-savage and hardy, and free’. Whenever I talk about gender Woolf’s words from The Waves flit through my head -- “I think sometimes [...] I am not a woman, but the light that falls on this gate, on this ground. I am the seasons, I think sometimes, January, May, November; the mud, the mist, the dawn.” If I have to describe myself to others a mental commonplace book of phrases, paintings, Tillmans photographs and film stills, Basquiat sketches and the Hubble image of Cassiopeia A, folds open. -- So, a good way to describe me would be pretentious. A fool. I’m dust-scattered sunlight and dinner parties with friends and sitting in the theatre for too long after a play and a specific shade of blue and all the people who have been kind to me and all the people who have not. I’m scratched knees and grins after falling off your bike. I’m black coffee in the morning. I’m a transman. And I’m here, even though sometimes I don’t want to be, finding more of me.” . @kierenmehta #photography #grateful #transition #genderidentity #fluidart #support #transgender #humanrighs #photography #freedon #socialactivist #socialartist https://www.instagram.com/p/CRgVdmLHdgf/?utm_medium=tumblr
