Look At Me! by James Koroni
LOOK AT ME! By James Koroni
ARTIST STATEMENT
In my transition from adolescence to early adulthood, I was confronted with the startling truth that the status-quo was a facade that my parents and community had created around me, having been passed that same torch by their predecessors. I began to see how important it was to ask critical questions about the society for which I was expected to be a torchbearer. Is there space to define my own values within the context of this vast and uncertain existence? All at once I felt empowered and disempowered.
In Look At Me! I use an array of bold colors and geometric shapes that emphasize the compendium of cultural values, which often seem chaotic, contrasting and in discord - in rare moments, these forms can align like constellations. Through this work I seek to discover how to connect those points through advocacy and alliance in a mission for understanding, liberation and justice. A desire for social harmony is simple enough, yet the pursuit is entirely overwhelming.
I once felt trapped like these characters. Their struggles seem like bars on cages, but with understanding and compassion we can blur those lines, pull each other through and find freedom.

Coming To The City by James Koroni
After living in this magnetic city for a decade I decided to take a day to get lost in it and capture what I observed along the way.
Coming To The City is a collection of moments from the wonderful adventure I took that day. Every day in New York has the potential to feel familiar and brand new at the same time, I hope I captured that sense of nostalgia and adventure.

SHADOW By James Koroni
Shadow addresses the oppressive nature that standards of masculinity and the dominant patriarchy has on bodies in western culture. The key figures in this work are the body (dancer) and the outside forces (sand / environment) working against it.
The outside forces represent the restrictions within the patriarchy and it's narrow definitions of masculinity. The body represents one born into a world predefined without its consent. The body struggles as it is consumed by the elements.
The artist wonders what a natural world defined by the bodies would look like rather than the reverse.

James Koroni X M I L Ā D
James Koroni Having been raised Mormon yet being Persian and queer has brought me a long challenging path to define and understand my identity. Having to reconstruct that identity has been made more full by friends like talented and intelligent Persian and queer designer @hausofmilad - I had the pleasure of modeling a look from my dear friend Milad’s collection. Read below for this looks inspiration:
Milad Look 1 - The dancer, the sodomite.
Featuring @jameskoroni , photographed by @elsianjelic
The ex President of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad famously announced that there are no gays in Iran. This, of course, is not only false but also ironic as homosexuality is still punishable by death in my country.
Unfortunately, the lack of conversation and education on the topics of gender and sexuality has rendered all non heteronormative manifestation as a perversion; a crime. This look is a tribute to Iran’s brave and resilient LGBTQ community. It reclaims ownership of their depiction as demonic sinners.
Details:
Screen-printed mesh top.
Hand-beaded Iranian nomadic woven “harness”.
Hand-painted “carpet” pants.
