Overview
Emily will create In Visible Skin, a watercolor portraiture series focusing on gender identity within the Philadelphia transgender community. Revealing personal narratives and insight from subjects will guide viewers through a complex conversation about gender representation not only in mainstream society, but in the LGBTQ community as well. By investigating gender stereotypes, viewers will be confronted with the complicated nature of identity, thus challenging their own beliefs of self-representation in everyday life.
