Jasmine has been born in the wrong body. Ten years ago she changed gender. She poses for her own pictures.
She uses these images in order to create some structure in the mishmash of events, actions, and feelings from her own life, surroundings and what people say about her. This may present ever-changing Jasmines, depending on the context.
