In Conversation with Flora Vever: Art, Sexuality, and the Female Gaze
In this in-depth interview, writer, Sophie Gray, connected with fellow UAL alumni, Flora Vever, to discuss her transformative project: ‘À Fleur de Peau’ (a French expression meaning to be ‘highly sensitive’, or ‘on edge’). Created as a reaction to ubiquitous imagery of female objectification in art, it quickly served as the impetus for a more thorough investigation on what it means to be ‘looked at’ and the often complex relationship women have with their bodies as a result of the internalised male gaze. Flora offered some insights into what inspires her creativity, the potential for change, and her hopes for the continuous development in her photographic practice.
Ephemere Journal
Our journal shares behind-the-scenes stories of collaborations, providing exclusive insights into the artists and projects that we support. Interviews with photographers and event highlights connect readers with the world of visual storytelling. We offer a detailed look at the creative process and community engagement.
We amplify the voices of photographers and writers who combine storytelling with visual art. We feature artists beyond our scope if their work aligns with our mission and vision. This space fosters deeper exploration of photography’s impact and encourages connections within the artistic community.
Contributing to our Journal allows sharing voices with a broader creative audience. We support underrepresented perspectives from photographers, writers, or both. Involvement facilitates engagement with fellow artists and readers, expanding reach and contributing to thoughtful discussions on photography.

▸ The Ephemere Photo Journal, Volume 1: "The Duality of Ephemerality and Permanence," is a deliberate act of seeking permanence in the momentary. Born from Publisher Anne Murayama's personal realization of finding lasting echoes in fleeting experiences through exclusive articles and photo essays, this journal serves as the physical souvenir of the Ephemere Photo Fest. Printed in an accessible newsprint format in cooperation with Kyoto Shimbun Printing, it brings together diverse essays and photo essays to explore how the camera transforms the transient world into enduring visual narratives.
