Among the notable pieces, Brooks' “Marsha” honors Marsha P. Johnson and the lives of transgender individuals, emphasizing the collective power of change and allyship. Bartasavich's “Police and Thieves” reflects the ongoing cultural revolution inspired by the music of The Clash.  Surbrook's “Self Portrait as a Bouguereau Angel” merges Christian imagery with his trans identity, portraying his experience as holy and angelic. Farro’s “Soul Unveiled” aims to reveal the artist's soul, peeling back physical layers to expose the bright essence beneath.
