is an offering dish filled with granules of my own dried blood, this work explores how transgender bodies exist in biological limbo, chemically castrated, caught between inherited narratives of reproduction and futurity. The granulated blood, dried, powdered and preserved, arrests this vital fluid into archival matter, establishing a corporeal record that circumvents normative generational cycles.

This material metamorphosis parallels my own bodily self-determination, disrupting and reconstituting anticipated biological continuities. Inspired by Bois Durci, the nineteenth-century pre-plastic composite that synthesized slaughterhouse blood with sawdust, the work acknowledges blood's industrial genealogy while reclaiming it as intimate creative substrate. Where Bois Durci transmuted biological detritus into decorative commodity, End of a Bloodline elevates bodily matter into speculative future making.
