Valentine Amari is an African American digital media artist whose work (can be viewed on instagram @valentine2fine) is created from aspects of her experience shaped by her various intersections. “Our Love in the Garden” centralizes the beauty of Black trans self-love by placing images of Amari within the painting “Expulsion from the Garden of Eden” by Thomas Cole. Amari’s work often plays with symbolism and imagery present in Christianity in conjunction with her own ideals.
