“The Halo is a Symbol of Our Death” is a video artwork that delves into the intersections of technology, trans experience, and the juxtaposition of Christian iconography with queer liberation. The work centers around a deeply personal act: the injection of estrogen by the artist, a trans woman, capturing an intimate and transformative moment. The video unfolds through a dynamic interplay of two camera angles, seamlessly interwoven with animations generated by AI using the artist’s action art prompts for trans becoming.![]()
