This series illuminates the often-overlooked trans* deities and gods within Christianity and its interconnected folklore. By centering marginalized tales, I challenge the obscuring of queer and trans* figures, confronting Christian nationalism's erasure of inherent queerness. In tandem with my personal transition journey, this exploration directly challenges prevailing viewpoints.
The use of abstraction in depicting these figures mirrors the nuanced experiences of non-normative gender identities. It captures the dual phenomena of trans erasure and the paradox of being unseen yet misperceived.
