Despite recent LGBT inclusion movement in many countries, ones who hold different gender identify than the majority still suffers to find places in their own society. Using a public bathroom is one example where, one must think twice before going into the bathroom that he/she perceives to be the right room. Other he/she will be seen as out of place. Floating in the photograph symbolizes "out-of-place" perspective by others. This is a non-photoshopped, self-portrait levitation photograph where fast shutter speed was used to freeze the motion.
