This artwork represents how religion has influenced my identity. I was raised in an incredibly religious and strict family, and, throughout most of my childhood, I had to learn to bury any part of me that wasn’t considered “godly.” I used various aspects of religious imagery and edited multiple photographs together, using myself as the model for each of the characters. The two characters in the middle, one dressed more feminine and one more masculine, represent the people I had to pretend to be, the binary box I had to perceive myself as being a part of. The lamb-headed figure on the left is a representation of religious leaders, facing away from the sight of the metaphorical burial and death of my identity, represented by the figure on the right.
