Printed portrait is 16"x20", on 20"x24" Epson Ultra Smooth Fine Art Paper, a 100% archival cotton paper. Giclée print with pigmented inks that will last 200+ years. Each print is signed, numbered, and includes an artist statement and certificate of authenticity.
20% of the proceeds from this portrait will be donated to Advocates for Trans Equality, a 501(c)(4) non-profit organization based in New York City. The organization is dedicated to promoting and protecting the rights of transgender individuals through advocacy, education, and community engagement. Their mission is to create a more equitable society where trans voices are heard and valued.
The subject of the portrait is Ra'Lasia Wright, a 25-year-old transgender woman from Minneapolis, who was shot and killed in December 2024. Her death marked at least the 31st transgender or trans-expansive person killed in the US in 2024, and the third in Minneapolis.
The artist uses pages from Harry Potter books to create the portrait. The author has contributed purposefully and relentlessly to a culture that vilifies and endangers trans people around the world. The portrait destroys her work, replacing it with a memorial to someone that lost their life to the culture fostered by the author.
Please consider supplementing our donation with your own. Thank you!
