Stereotypes and Dysphoria

Stereotypes and Dysphoria, Chaz Howkins, 2015, mirror and paint
I further explored the potential of using mirrors to express gender dysphoria with this (rather unsuccessful) piece by distorting the reflection with paint.  I used blue paint to contrast the surrounding pink frame, highlighting the contrast of the gender binaries and expressing how someone may be surrounded by pink but see themselves in blue.
