one day ill grow up and be a beautiful one woman

Femininity is grown into, not given.

Filled with chia and alfalfa, this yellow dress was the first piece of lingerie I made during my transition. this work grieves the death of my past, fertilizes my future. Embroidered phrase from ANOHNI’s song “For Today I am a Boy” - a song I sing to myself when I’m crippled by dysphoria.
