Elton

EVEN TODAY AS THE WORLD LOOKS AT GENDER AS A BINARY AND COMMODITIES LIKE CLOTHES AND JEWELLERY ARE LABELLED, WHERE A LOT OF PEOPLE STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SEX AND GENDER; ELTON (IN THE PICTURES) HAS LIBERATED HIMSELF OF ALL THE SOCIETAL CONSTRAINTS OF GENDER IDENTITY AND IS DRESSING THE WAY HE WANTS WITHOUT BEING LABELLED.
THESE PICTURES REPRESENT THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN A PERSON AND THE CONSTRUCT OF GENDER NORMS THAT IS FORCED UPON INDIVIDUALS. CLOTHES ARE JUST A MEDIUM BUT LABELLING THEM TAKES AWAY FROM A LOT OF PEOPLE.
ELTON IS SEEN TO BE ENJOYING THE SOLACE HE HAS CREATED FOR HIMSELF BY USING THE CLOTHES HE LIKES TO DRAPE ON HIMSELF.
