Pia Paulina Guilmoth's solo exhibition, Flowers Drink the River, showcases her poignant journey through gender transition in a conservative Maine town. Through large-format photography, she captures the dualities of beauty and peril in queer life, interweaving elements of nature and ritual to explore themes of transformation, belonging, and defiance. The works, rich with symbolism, invite viewers into a intimate space where survival necessitates creativity. Guilmoth's collaborative approach with both human and natural subjects reveals her commitment to understanding and documenting this complex experience, shaping a narrative of resilience and kinship among trans women and queer individuals.
"Each night for a week in August, I would sit in the tall, tick-infested grass behind the orchard, hoping to connect with the creatures around me."
