Abstract
My thesis work focuses on gender identity, religion, and speculative design. The thesis exhibition and body of work is simply named REFLECTION for its quality to reflect the identity of myself and the identities of others. This work began four years ago when investigating topics that many viewers harbor misconceptions about: religious faith, transgender, and in the unexpected places where they meet. In response, I have designed and built hypothetical religious objects that both describe and offer solutions to the various questions and struggles I face as a trans man, Lutheran, and human being. The work I created examines the possibilities of being transgender in a profound and endearing way.
