In creating the ongoing photo series Xawery, which part of it is now published in Matratze Magazine‘s 2023 edition, I delved into a deeply personal exploration of my partner and our relationship. Through careful composition and intimate moments, I sought to immortalize Xawery, portraying his personality, emotions, and vulnerabilities. Each frame serves as a testament to the depth of our connection, from the tender portrait capturing his essence to the symbolic image of him touching a stone, reflecting our shared strength and resilience as a queer couple. Through „Xawery,“ I aimed not only to celebrate our love but also to amplify queer narratives, offering a universal message of acceptance, understanding, and celebration of diversity.
