Recipe for an Epiphany
This is an adaptation of a short graphic memoir comic about the epiphany of realizing I’m trans. It’s a look at cumulative pieces falling into place, building up to an overwhelming moment of realization. I wanted to not only express the enormity of that moment, and the life-changing clarity that it gave me, but also to be honest about the moment that comes afterwards – once we have an epiphany, once we have seen the truth, what do we do with it?
