Surgery is inherently frightening. The experience of being prodded, pierced, and exposed under clinical lights can be deeply unsettling. Yet, for many transgender individuals, surgery feels like a necessary step toward aligning their physical selves with their true gender identity—a path to feeling 'masculine enough' or 'feminine enough' in a world that constantly questions their authenticity. This work reimagines surgical theatre, not through the lens of spectacle, but as a space charged with vulnerability, fear, and transformation. The multitude of hands and instruments evoke a sense of anxiety and unease, even as the subject undergoes a procedure they genuinely desire. Surgery, even when chosen, is still a profound and often harsh experience.
