Description

Glass beads function as an external husk—delicate, repetitive, and organized. Through stringing them together with a needle and thread, I ritualize the process of hormone replacement therapy. The material’s fragility and labor-intensive construction transform daily acts and ideas into something ceremonial, adding weight, time, and intention to something otherwise internal. The material becomes a physical milestone for my transness, a way to externalize and honor time and health.
