Additional Details

This self-portrait was made for the Academy of Art University and the iconic lesbian publication "On Our Backs," where it appeared as a centerfold. A defiant act of self-expression and self-love, as well as an image that celebrated sexual freedom, Cohen's photograph remains a deeply personal touchstone for the queer community.
