From the author
Our gender and the biological sex do not always coincide, the discrepancy between them can lead to serious mental discomfort. The life of transsexuals from childhood is a struggle for the right to live in harmony with oneself. They constantly encounter a dialogue between two personalities: the internal “I”, which strives for gender identity, and the “I” corresponding to the biological sex.
In my series of photos of True Self , portraits of people from different gender communities are presented. Each photograph is accompanied by a quote from our conversation, which helps to feel the conditions in which they lived, the courage and significance of their steps towards their real “I”.
UPD: 6 out of 10 photographs of the series are deleted at the request of persons participating in the filming.
