About the Series
Where gold was once denied, it now gleams as defiance—these intimate portraits trace beauty as transgression and refusal as radiance.
Transgression Series explores the material and symbolic weight of gold adornment on bodies marked by histories of extraction and erasure. These small portraits depict dark-skinned women as both sites of value and resistance—where gold becomes a measure of cost, glamour, and refusal. Through pigment, gold, and intimate scale, the works extend the project’s inquiries into caste, labor, and beauty.
