Much Ado About Nothing, Kid

April 10, 2017 ASAA

Title of Art Piece: Much Ado About Nothing, Kid
Category: Painting – 2017
Student/Artist’s Name: Rachel Toms
School: Houston High School
Grade: 11th
Artist Statement:

I painted this piece in a fit of discomfort. As a transgender man, I have a lot of body dysphoria regarding my chest. This influenced me to express that dysphoria through bright, disconcerting colors that cause discomfort to look at. The angry yet defiant expression on the center piece’s face shows that nothing can stop someone from attaining their happiness.
