Contra Naturam
2024

Contra Naturum explores the ways we mythologize creatures and humans defined as "other." By layering old etchings of sea monsters with photos of a trans loved one, the book draws parallels between the narratives that make transness "monstrous" and those used centuries ago to classify the unknown. The title, meaning "against nature," reflects this tension, questioning what society deems natural or acceptable.
