Description from the Artist:

Mx. Liberty is a series that is part of a larger body of work focused on Nationality and Identity. A Black Trans Guardian honors the Transgender women of color who pioneered the first pride, which ended in riots of the first 5 years and focused on the effort to establish the right to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness which was often denied because of their underlying differences.

"This is a nation of rebels and business people. It was birthed out of rebellion and even empowered the people with the legal means to rebel against its own government should it ever be corrupt. So when a rebellion began by Trans Women of color, in particular black women, So that they may have their right to be their true selves, it is on-brand. When I think of America, 'What is it to be American?' or 'What is American Identity?' I think of Emma Lazarus' poem "The New Colossus". The first 'American' symbol people see when they immigrate to the US. With an all-inclusive poem as the message on the Statue's base, I think of the statue of liberty as the personification and mascot of the United States. If this is the case, then why not have our mascot poster child shown in many different incarnations of identities that make up this country.

After all, it is a salad bowl, rather than a melting pot. Each culture, like an ingredient, is part of the larger dish but still retains its identity even when partially cooked. In a melting pot, everything melts and mingles until it is no longer itself."
