Gabriel (Single)
DESCRIPTION
Gabriel is a young Transgender from Palermo. I met him in one of the most important moments of his and my life. I was inPalermo for a project I'm working on about gender identities, I managed to get his phone number and by contacting him I discovered that he had just had a mastectomy, a fundamental part of his physical transition path. Entering his home and being able to attend a day of his convalescence was a very big gift. Caterina, his wonderful mother, chose to be part of the project also with irony, offering her colorful bra to represent the ironic part of this very painful but equally beautiful journey. When I asked Caterina for her opinion about highlighting her son's body in the world, she replied that Gabriel's body must serve to understand that every person must have the right to put his body in sync with his mind, emphasizing that she is privileged having a daughter and a son, both fantastic.
