Gender Expression in Athletics: Project Phase 2

As I'm continuing this project, I'm finding myself more and more guided by the male perspective on gender stereotypes in athletics and running. This surprised me, as my original idea was inspired by the female perspective of balancing femininity and athleticism. Hearing from my male teammates about their experiences and comparing them with my female teammates is showing me how these issues of identity being shaped by running is unifying and relevant to everyone.

My project is growing and expanding as I capture more perspectives of more of my teammates. It's been so moving to dive deeper into these people whose strength I admire so much. For this phase of the project, I wanted to play with experimentation and making the body an abstract expression of our internal conflicts. I'll share more phases as this project continues.
