Transgender artist James Helenski explores the role of the body as a tool in shaping society’s concepts of gender, sex, and sexuality. Their most recent photography series examine the ways that language is used as a tool for oppression within our own language and the ways in which they become manifest emotionally, psychologically, and physically.

My goal in life is to be one of those people who are just light. You see them and you suddenly feel so warm inside and all you want to do is hug them. And they look at you and smile with the warmest light in their eyes…. and you love them. maybe not in a romantic way but you just want to be close to them and you hope some of their light transfers onto you.
