Emergence

Emergence is an amalgamation of masculine and feminine icons created to symbolize the product of my yearlong deliberation over my gender identity and expression. This piece was created in dedication to my emergence into self-awareness and autonomy as a gender-fluid individual.

Description: Artemis in a traditionally masculine act of hunting with a bow and arrow. The figure wields a bow that completes the Moon, a conventionally feminine icon, while shooting an arrow that simultaneously resembles the ♂ symbol for masculinity.
