Flower Bodies 

Calvin Rauer 11th Grade

I made this piece for an assignment in my 11th Grade art class. We had to create a piece of media art, so I decided to go with a digitally painted portrait. For these portraits I wanted to show the beauty of transgender bodies and culture which is something important to me as a trans person myself. The arrangements of flowers all have meanings behind them, including purity, joy, rebirth, triumph, protection and love (among many others.)
