a they/them surviving in the prairies

just like the phases of the moon, we are eternal. like the persistence of complete metamorphosis, we will continue to be born and continue to transition in the ways that we require. this piece is an homage to the Black trans women and lesbians who fought for our rights. It is also a promise - that we will carve out the future we want for ourselves by any means necessary. Happy pride!

this print is about how transition is a normal, natural thing (however incessantly demonized by those in power). It's about how we aren't the first to take this journey, and how we won't be the last. this piece isn't just about the journey, however -- I put the pollywog in a perfect circle with seaweed below and moon phases above, because it's also about how some of us will always be the in-between; will never be one or the other. I utilized symmetry (for the first time) in an attempt to convey how we are perfect in our transness; perfect as a creature that exists between two worlds.
