Through my self-portraits, I want to express the transgender body that is scarcely seen in media. By choosing to reference “The Fallen Angel” by Alexandre Cabanel, I am showcasing how outcast transgender people at large feel from society, especially with the rise of legislation against us. In making art like this, I want to show those who feel downtrodden by low visibility what could be in store for them in the future.
