I Am a Friend of Dorothy

By using the familiar narrative of the Wizard of Oz to inspire a body of work, I create an experience that is both intimate yet nostalgic and relatable. As a queer person, I come out on a daily basis – an act that can create joy and love, but also chaos and fear. The exhibition is a love letter to my adventure through the turbulence and moments of elation.
