The ‘No Man’s Land’ Series

The idea behind this series is to celebrate remarkable people who have challenged gender stereotyping. The Sworn Virgin is believed to be the only formal, socially defined trans-masculine, trans gender and cross-dressing role in Europe; currently there are probably around only forty in a small region of Northern Albania and surrounding areas where traditional patriarchies still survive.

This depiction was in part inspired by the wonderful work of photographer Jill Peters.
