Description FROM MAKER

Cosmos (self-given title)

The joy I feel in my gender is most realized when I am in nature. Where does my gender fit into the larger story? In the natural world, of which humans are a part, gender is limitless. The stars and flowers don’t question their gender, they just exist. My body is made of the same dust as the stars and flowers.

Visual description FROM MAKER

on natural linen fabric, surrounded by purple cosmos flowers the text ‘what is my gender when I'm made of the same dust as the cosmos’ is embroidered in medium purple embroidery floss
