Queer identity lives in a battlefield, a canvas marred by never belonging and never being able to just be. Romero paints with the colors of her experience, each brushstroke a reflection of her journey.
Male-presenting bodies have blues and pinks. Los cuerpos de mujeres (como el mío) contienen rojos. Women are enveloped in fiery reds. Cada color y curva es un testimonio de la valentía de la experiencia humana y la belleza de aceptar quiénes somos en el amplio espectro de nuestras identidades — the delicate negotiation between the internal self and the identity we wear.
Through photography Romero explores femininity, cultural identity and how comfortable we are within it.
