“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.

The hand drawn digital animation is overlain upon cytoscopic footage of my urethra and bladder, a procedure I went through due to medical side effects from my transsexuality. Original score written and performed by me.
