Puberty is a self-portrait project by Laurence Philomène that combines surreal colors and mundane environments to document daily moments and slow, subtle physical changes during a non-binary transgender person's transition. It challenges viewers to consider identity beyond binaries and captures what has become a globalized human experience during the coronavirus pandemic.

Gender is a lifelong journey that encompasses self-discovery, experiences, and sometimes restrictions. For some individuals, the gender experience extends beyond the binary, and Laurence Philomène is one such example.

Puberty is a captivating self-portrait project that delves into the intimate and transformative process of self-care as a non-binary transgender person undergoing hormonal replacement therapy (HRT). Spanning over two years, this project combines surreal colors and everyday environments to document the daily moments and subtle physical changes that occur during Philomène's transition.

By viewing HRT as a process without a fixed end goal, Puberty invites viewers to contemplate identity beyond the confines of binaries. At one level, these photographs are a personal reflection on the photographer's journey, but they also capture a globalized human experience that has become increasingly relevant in the context of the coronavirus pandemic. The challenges of self-care at home and the pressures of productivity have become more pressing as individuals navigate the complexities of their gender identities and the broader societal landscape.

Through Puberty, Laurence Philomène offers a powerful testament to the resilience and diversity of the transgender community. Their images remind us of the importance of embracing our true selves and providing support and care for one another as we navigate the complexities of gender and identity.
