Autonomous State

This piece is a self-portrait that reflects my confidence to be myself, alone and independent within the city that I live. Every person, no matter their gender identity, should feel safe to travel alone throughout the city landscape. Unfortunately, many people do not feel comfortable to go for a run after dark, nor catch public transport alone. This piece reflects a world where every person can go out into the city without fear nor threat to their bodily autonomy.
