MARVEL BY MARVEL HARRIS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

DENIZ AKKAYA<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Winner of the MACK First Book Award 2021, MARVEL presents a collection of incredibly intimate self-portraits taken over a five-year period.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

MARVEL\u00a0describes the\u00a0journey of Marvel Harris\u2019 personal battles with mental illness, self-love,\u00a0acceptance,\u00a0and gender identity,\u00a0all\u00a0told through a searing collection of self-portraits spanning the course of\u00a0five years. These photographs\u00a0present a\u00a0new-found visual\u00a0language; a tool with which\u00a0Marvel\u00a0was able to express those emotions that, on\u00a0account of his autism, he previously struggled to make\u00a0sense of.\u00a0The process\u00a0of making these portraits allowed him to connect to the world around him at the\u00a0time he needed it most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0
Winner of the MACK First Book Award 2021,\u00a0MARVEL\u00a0is\u00a0an important new voice which contributes to an increased awareness of the\u00a0issues surrounding gender identity and mental health. In doing so, this deeply\u00a0personal book demands a more tolerant attitude from society\u00a0towards transgender\u00a0people and those who don\u2019t identify as entirely male or female.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c<\/em>At first the focus of my project\u00a0was my gender transition, but along the way I found out that it\u2019s about an\u00a0ongoing search for myself: being\u00a0a human with feelings, who is continuously\u00a0developing,\u201d\u00a0Marvel says about the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA raw and introspective portrayal of Harris\u2019 experience as an autistic, non-binary, transgender artist, tracing their struggles with mental illness, self-love and gender identity.<\/strong>\u201d \u2013 British Journal of Photography<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
