First to Rise | Original Painting

This piece honors transgender women, especially the Black and Brown trans women who were the first to rise at Stonewall. It speaks to the dual struggle of becoming: the fight to feel whole within, and the courage to stand tall in a hostile world. The bold geometry reflects that rising force, unapologetic, necessary, and deeply human.

The T-Series honors the transgender community, especially the Black and Brown trans women whose courage and creativity shaped queer liberation. Each piece carries a name, a voice, and a refusal to be erased.
