Emily will create In Visible Skin, a watercolor portraiture series focusing on gender identity within the Philadelphia transgender community.

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.
