TRANSlation ORIGINAL PAINTING

TRANSlation is a vibrant painting that is a defiant stand against transgender hate, celebrating identity, resilience, and self-expression. Its surreal, fluid composition reflects the complexity of gender identity, while intense colors and swirling patterns convey both inner strength and external chaos—symbolizing the struggle against discrimination.

The fragmented yet unified central figure represents navigating authenticity in a world that tries to deconstruct them. Intricate eyes reveal deep awareness, witnessing both pain and triumph. Flowing organic shapes suggest that gender and self-expression are ever-evolving, uncontainable by societal norms.

Balancing soft pastels with electric tones, the piece captures the tension between love and resistance, acceptance and rejection. Ultimately, it rejects hate and affirms the enduring power of self-expression and authenticity.
