Usually, the subject matter of the image is not the subject of the work.

The social order of things has demanded an emphasis on the differences between gender that do not in my opinion in fact exist. I’m not going to go around putting pronouns on everything. Things are often deeply compromised by the set of assumptions you bring to the world, which is this black or white, this male or female.

As is often said of photography, this photograph is a frozen moment. A frozen moment is not a moment at all.
