Gender Fluidity
Indenpent Research
In our society people tend to use the terms “sex” and “gender” interchangeably and indeed often wrongly view them as the same thing. Sex is biological element, which refers to anatomy and hormones whereas gender is far more complicated phenomena.
Being gender fluid has nothing to do with one’s birth sex, orientation or appearance. Gender fluid is better described as an identity performance that captures a dynamic mix of male and female traits, or not identifying and connecting with either, or indeed with both.
The aim of this project is to visualize the concept of gender fluid and express the idea that people can live their lives without the restrictive binary boundaries and stereotypical expectations from our heteronormative society.
Objectives
I was inspired by the short film ”Break Free” by Ruby Rose, the film was about gender roles, transcending boundaries of femininity, masculinity, and the areas in between, and what it is like to have an identity that deviates from the status quo.
The video was very autobiographical which show her own struggle with gender presentation and fluidity.
The aim of this project is to explores gender through a binary understanding of male and female, by using two different colours to represent gender roles and show the harmonious of being gender fluid. To evoke people from bullying, discrimination and spread our love and acceptance to everyone.
