Self-Portrait (Section 1557 Regulation)

2020. Video. Runtime: 2:39.

A field of ambiguous flesh is slowly overtaken by scrolling text drawn from a Trump-era Department of Justice order effectively legalizing discrimination against transgender people by health care providers under the ACA. Hands seem to attempt to protect the body from the text, but it is fruitless, and the color is drained from the skin in symbolic death.
