Liu Hsing-Yu reimagined his parents’ wedding portrait with their roles reversed, with his mother wearing his father’s suit and vice versa. The 2009 photograph was one of the first images in his series “My Parents,” which explores ideas around companionship, intimacy, aging, gender expectations, and cultural norms. Liu’s parents initially struggled to understand his decision to come out as a gay man, but their participation in the project has changed their relationship over the years. The series has also become a body of work about aging, intimacy, and care, as Liu grapples with the challenges faced by older LGBTQ people.
