"I wanted to make a film that highlights the joy of reclaiming your trans body." Collaborating with their friend Rowyn Judd and fellow creative Fox Fisher, we shot the pre-op video on the evening before his top surgery.

Artist Statement:
Looking back, the choreography was stiff and my mind was ultra-focused. Only 4 months later we shot the same video, here I see myself opening up with more expressive, fluid movement as I was finally comfortable with myself. I wanted to show how good it feels to grow into yourself, recognising yourself as a work in progress. I hope Fox and I can inspire others by showing this vulnerability.
