BINDER SERIES

Having recently purchased a chest binder and experiencing the gender and body euphoria when I first saw the line of my flat chest in the mirror, I started to think about how important binders were to transgender folks. They can be uncomfortable, but also in the physical discomfort there is mental comfort. I took the binder back to its base as a pattern and explored this concept through it as both an object and a personal zine.
