"While no single person is to blame, it's clear that institutional fear shaped by a broader climate of political hostility toward trans lives played a role. This painting exists to hold space for someone whose humanity has been politicised and disregarded."

Draped in vivid red fabric, the statues of Peter Burnett, William Gwin, and Francis Scott Key are transformed into ghostly silhouettes, haunting the underbelly of the Golden Gate Bridge. The striking red shrouds symbolize alarm, violence, and the systemic White supremacy that underpins their legacies.

I wish Corita Kent's work had already done its work, that the world was free of oppression, racism, inequality, chaos and fear.
