Being a big bitch, in a world of small hoes, I exude an energy and identity that don't completely fit into the Binary, I exist in a void. By way of an alter ego named Dion, I explore what it means to be desired, more than to just fit in, but to feel fucking included, to exist in a place where my body in all of its blackness, queerness, fatness and femme-ness is the norm.

This is explored through photography, video, performance, text, and sound conjured through Dion in their exploration of wanting to be viewed as whole and worthy of existence. Pulling Influences from the black urban aesthetic i.e Wigs, long hair, makeup, luscious fur coats. braggadocious jewelry, peacock wicker chairs, the finest fabrics, and jewels, and other items that allude to black queer opulence.
