Skylar & I explores identity, intimacy, and the fluidity of gender perception. It examines how profound connection can dissolve the boundaries of self-identity, allowing qualities traditionally associated with one gender to be embraced as part of a shared identity. Through deep intimacy, the traits one admires in another are no longer perceived as exclusive or unattainable—they are experienced as intrinsic, fostered by the same love and understanding with which one loves oneself. This unity reframes gender as fluid, shaped and transcended through connection. It affirms that the qualities you admire in another are also within yourself.
