With mediums like large-scale cyanotype, audio, and installation, Trans-cendence seeks to give a real and raw emotion to living in the world today as a trans woman. Commenting on the struggle of walking through life and celebrating that I am here. Hoping to evoke emotions of connection, discomfort, and celebrate the people who have allowed me to be me without judgment. Trans-cendence is as much a show about me as much as it is about the community who have allowed me to be me. Thank you to those people.
Utilizing the Grey or Black studios with a different lighting setup for each image, students made Joiner portraits of a person, object, or “thing itself”.
They considered the frame – What part of the subject are the focus on in each frame of the photograph? How will they come together?
They considered time – How will the passage of time be shown in the overall image, how can the final assembly / composition enhance elements to the foreground of the composition?

“As I go further into the backstory of my work, I feel that it is all about the strength to cross a middle passage, to endure centuries of slavery, and find some place to exist that is not just on the physical plane. I’m trying to find that world inside my painting.” —Peter Williams
