The ability to reconnect with a live audience after two years of COVID isolation is creating pure joy in the drag community in New York where art officially triumphs over disease. I shot this portrait of Tiresias at a moment when this royal performer was clearly giving thanks to the drag gods for allowing their art to re-emerge from isolation into this new, joyful light. And the drag gods are shining the light back onto Tiresias's face as if to say "thank you, too."
