Set against both idyllic and nondescript landscapes, yet profoundly intimate, this project offers a sanctuary for subjects to manifest their unbound selves.

Grey’s work challenges us to witness the multiplicity of freedom, recognizing that 'being put together' is an evolving tapestry of human experience, far beyond the monolithic instructions of respectability and politeness.
