Il n'y a pas de moyen pour polir un hérisson
I am what I am
I am what I am

I am what I am

Long Story Short

I saw one of my first Drag Queen Shows in Edinburgh

It was amazing.

As a final act, the artist performed to the song I am what I am by Gloria Gaynor while taking off all accessories that makes a traditional ” Drag Queen”

Wig, dress, corset, make up etc…

It was such a powerful act that still strikes me to this day.

So

At the beginning of Pride week,

I painted a white acrylic background on an used board of mixed wood

Then with make-up

Eye liner, eye shadow and Mascara

I drew that same figure from this powerful act.

A silhouette, a movement, a performance, an action, a message.
