The Somebodies aims to challenge mainstream society's notions and beliefs concerning squeegee kids, depicting these individuals as any other human being. By de-contextualizing and juxtaposing photographs, and by giving them the opportunity to express themselves, the project seeks to thrust new discussions, perceptions, and realities that will allow us to set aside the stereotypical views currently in place within the public sphere. These individuals are not solely squeegee kids. These individuals have experiences, emotions, and opinions just like anyone else.

NEW PROJECT - PASSING LINES (2009)
Passing Lines--an audio-based documentary--explores the tensions and difficulties that exist between the rigid structures enforced by Immigration and those traveling individuals who have made their refugee claim based on their sexual identity. Combining soundscapes and testimonies obtained from outside the judicial system, Passing Lines tells the story of three different queer refugees' journey to Canada, exploring new grounds by emphasizing sound as traveling speech, testimony, and story within a society where visuality continues to be privileged.
