Just Ask

Artist Statement

I aim to challenge preconceived notions and celebrate the beauty of diversity within our society. The character, adorned in a shirt featuring the trans flag colors and earrings that boldly declare, 'Ask me about my pronouns,' is a powerful symbol of self-identity and self-acceptance. The background, adorned with the repeated phrase 'ask me about my pronouns' on the trans flag, emphasizes the importance of acknowledging and respecting individual identities. The character's expression reflects the inner strength required to embrace one's true self in the face of societal norms and expectations. This artwork signifies the importance of dialogue and understanding. It challenges us to question assumptions and encourages open conversations about gender identity. Through this piece, I hope to convey that embracing our differences, including gender diversity, is essential for a more compassionate society.
