This ongoing body of work is a reflection on identity, grief, memory, and place, grounded in the landscapes of the upper Midwest and the lived experience of being trans, nonbinary, and disabled. This conglomeration of work has been created during a year marked by personal transformation—coming out as trans, receiving a bipolar II diagnosis, and reckoning with immense personal loss. The work moves between the intimate and the collective: from tender recollections of family and chosen kin to meditations on native flora, quiet prairies, and the body as both site of struggle and survival. Each piece exists as an act of remembrance and resistance, refusing erasure and reaching toward connection. My work centers voices often left out of dominant narratives—disabled, queer, trans voices —and speaks honestly to both the weight and wonder of living in a body like mine.Through a visual language that is sensory, grounded, and emotionally open, this project invites readers to pause, reflect, and find themselves in the spaces between loss and becoming. It is an offering—for those who are grieving, for those becoming, for those seeking shelter in art. Ultimately, this work is about endurance, beauty, and the possibility of hope in even the most overlooked places.
