“Of this woman nothing more will be known” reflects the same ambiguous traits of traditional male visual culture. Based on the title of this particular collage, here is a female depiction who, as a person socially coded as female, becomes a throwaway commodity for the straight male who engages her; hence, “nothing more will be known.”

 “Twilight bridge” in its setting of reduced light, again signals the dusky, recondite nature of straight men engaging in furtive desires, or at least oblique sensual curiosities, with respect to trans women.

"Twilight bridge"
JC Alfier

A Collage
Split into two panels that sit one above the other divided by a band of orange. In the top panel we see a grainy image of a suspension bridge lit by a warm glow from behind. Below, a sharp jaw, full lips, and sharp nose mark the top of the nose to hips section of the leopard print clad body we're able to see.

Ali Smith: Do you call that a Christmas present? On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me: a whole month whose daylight ended at roughly half past three. I looked out the window and watched it fall.

“It was the time of year when things could change their nature… Light is shaving the darkness off already, a couple of minutes a day. Have you noticed?”

—from 2008: “Do you call that a Christmas present?”
