These pieces are a part of a series that uses the language and symbolism of flowers to communicate how I would like to feel in my body. Lavender represents the calm I desire to feel while existing in a marginalized body, especially in public spaces. Felicia symbolizes happiness and Oenothera signifies protection. These pieces are heavily influenced by my identity as a fat, neurodivergent, genderqueer dyke. I find it impossible to separate my identities from my relationship to my body. The overlaps of my identity often leave me on the margins of my communities.
