Testing Testing One Two Three Series (2022)

Cyanotype on paper

8” × 10”

This series captures the used testosterone vessels from my hormone replacement therapy. Navigating gender-affirming care was marked by trial and error, moving from injections to patches to gels, each with its own challenges. My fear of needles made the process especially difficult, but seeking autonomy led me to the Inject-ease, a device that allowed me to self-administer my shots.

Through these images, I reflect on resilience, agency, and self-acceptance, the quiet power found in confronting fear and reclaiming control over my own body and transition.
