TRANS BINDING

As a trans/NB architect and artist, I look at my body (i.e. “the” body) as a canvas of opportunity. I see the body as a tool I continue to sculpt and change in an effort to participate most effectively with my life. This continuous alteration is not linear, nor does it have a direct and clear end goal or look. The trans approach to the body is one that cannot be defined in the same way a single shirt looks different on every person.

 

This project captures the mold of a singular body's approach to survival. Through binding, the body and its perception are morphed. This is an architectural re-construction of the self as a form of habitation.
