Fine, I'll Do it Myself was made following the delay in trans healthcare over the COVID lockdown. These waiting times, extended by transphobic government guidelines & advice as well as complete closure of clinics during lockdown, left trans people in an unknown limbo.
I took the task into my own hands, using my skills as a sculptor to give myself the surgery I was waiting for.
