Garden of Adams

The film approaches the human body through abstraction and intimacy, using close-up imagery to reframe familiar forms. Responding to the way traditional pornography centers the erect penis as an explicit object, the work instead isolates the penis and places it within natural landscapes, softening and recontextualizing its organic shape. By situating it in nature, the film seeks to disarm and subtly feminize the form, inviting a quieter, more contemplative gaze. A central focus is the gradual transformation from softness to hardness without any direct physical stimulation, emphasizing process over performance. The footage was captured across landscapes in San Francisco, California, and Upstate New York in 2025.
