The long answer is: in this series, the person who is traveling is obscured from the viewer so it is never definitive whether they are male or female, or if they're even human. We make assumptions about things as soon as we view a picture, and in this particular series I try to keep it so anyone and everyone can connect with the image (even though the lack of personification gives the viewer a slight schism in who and what). The traveler does end up outside the ship at many points but also remains completely clothed at all points while inside the vehicle as well.There is more to this series than just this image, including about 15 other works so far and a 10 page essay.
