I grew up gender fluid and didn’t give a damn about my socio-sexual status. Drag allows me space to explore my gender fluidity’s depths. Through wigs, bras, beautiful clothes, I examine gender and social structures’ concepts in beautiful ways.
The more I look inside, the more it occurs that women in drag, too, wield their sexuality in different ways. With my friend and photographer Santosh Kumar Gangala, I’ve imagined the Alpha, Gamma, and Beta drag performers.
