B.O.Y.
BOY is a life jacket to survive the straights: the gender-binary of girlhood commodified and boyhood idolized, the smarmy projections of the man-child, and the invisible bind of carrying these expectations as a girl/woman/not-boy.
Sailing here is in a zig-zag. Our compass guides us according to the values of curiosity, adventure, and growth. We borrow from the audacity and take to the waters. Our destination is the estuary, where new forms can develop.
