This photographic series explores the relationship between queerness, the body and the natural world. Weeds are planted directly onto the body, turning skin into ground and the body into a site of growth.
A weed is not a fixed category. It is a plant growing where someone has decided it does not belong. Through this language of cultivation, order and removal, the series considers how queer identities have similarly been treated as unnatural, unwanted or out of place.
Here, the weed is not removed or controlled. It is tended to, held and allowed to grow. Its presence on the body becomes an act of identification rather than concealment. The images reclaim what has been dismissed as invasive or undesirable, presenting queerness as something living, adaptive and inseparable from nature.
The work does not ask whether the body belongs within the landscape. It insists that this queer body was always part of it.
