“‘We, Fortified’ stands as testimony to both queer subjectivity, and to the spaces that queer people create to harness and refine their creative energy. ‘We, Fortified’ proposes an insight into queer support networks, and focuses on the power, influence and ability that we have when nurtured by our queerness. We are exclusively inclusive of others like us, we recruit those who do not fit the heteronormative binary, we are here, basking in our ability to adapt and change: We, Fortified.” – Rob Corica, photographer.
Rob Corica is a visual artist living between Melbourne, AUS and Wellington, NZ. His work primarily focuses on the tropes of queer identity, as well as the deconstruction of gender roles in a contemporary climate.
