Exodus is an ongoing series of polaroid prints. Part diary, part fantasy, these snapshots are moments of body, sexuality, and the vulnerability of masculinity. Through his polaroids, Gomez explores the dualities of his own dislocation of queerness and the need for desire by photographing male-identified friends, lovers, and acquaintances. He tightens his gaze and departs from environmental portraits, uses prisms, double exposure, and mirrors to create dreamlike depictions of male beauty.
