Join us for an Exhibition PRIDE Celebration Rooftop at The LINE as part of Icons & Flow!

Icons, developed through a collaboration between creative director John Coplen and photographer Rachel A Sale, reimagines culturally iconic images through the reversal of gender - not as imitation, but as disruption. By unsettling familiar representations of beauty and desire, the work exposes how deeply these ideas are conditioned, and how easily they can be reassigned. In reconstructing these images, the artists are not only questioning what we see, but why we see it that way.

In parallel, Flow, created by Rachel A Sale, centers on women who embody resilience not as an abstract ideal, but as a daily, lived practice. Through the language of yoga, each subject expresses strength, vulnerability, and presence - using the body not for performance, but for grounding, healing, and self-definition. Photographed in dynamic, unapologetic poses, these women occupy space with intention. Their accompanying words reveal how yoga serves as a tool for navigating adversity, reclaiming agency, and sustaining inner balance in an unpredictable world. Originally created as a series of calendars and shared widely during the Women’s March in Washington, DC, this work exists at the intersection of personal ritual and collective empowerment. Each image becomes both portrait and testimony - an assertion that resilience is not the absence of struggle, but the conscious choice to remain present through it.

Together, Icons and Flow expands conversations around the human body: not as something to be redefined or disrupted, but as a site of endurance, awareness, and lived truth.
