It's been a little bit of radio silence on my end for this project, but I've finally gotten pictures that I like and a concept that I think I'm going to go with. I'm going to try and create a sort of stained-glass window effect, with my partner as a model. I also think I'm going to lean towards the visual concepts of biblically accurate angels. Hopefully will have another update tonight!
This is my final piece. In making this I've been thinking about queer identity, modernity, and what we consider to be holy in this day and age. I also took inspiration from stained glass church windows and biblically accurate depictions of angels.
"Body," a narrative in four parts. This series expresses my personal struggles with gender dysphoria, and body dysmorphia, which are two sides of the same coin for me. I don't experience my insecurities about my body as separate from my gender identity dysphoria; they are one and the same. The pieces are about struggling with body image, and learning that I may not ever be 100% happy in my body, but that I can find people who can hold that happiness for me; I can find support from the people I love, even when I don't always love myself.
