Nonbinary Sports, Mixed Media Wood Panel Art on Gender and Identity

$110.00
This is a mixed media artwork on a wood panel, created through a layered process of painting, washing in the sink, and rebuilding the surface. The background shifts softly between visible layers, suggesting what remains and what fades when navigating identity in a world defined by binaries.

Over the paint, colored pencil symbols appear: eyes, clouds, teardrops, shapes. Some gaze back, some drift, creating a sense of being witnessed, judged, and seen in complex ways.

"I started looking up non-binary people in sports... that one skateboarder in the Olympics got misgendered a lot."

This line comes from a real moment in therapy, reflecting the emotional concerns of stepping into a new sport while queer and nonbinary. The text holds both vulnerability and power, grounding the work in lived experience.

Materials:
Mixed media on wood panel
Acrylic paint, colored pencil, sealed surface
Approx. size: 16.5 x 12.25 (Aproximate)

Themes:
Identity, gender expression, being seen, queer resilience, the layered self, sports culture, softness in hard spaces.

This artwork is for:
Collectors of queer art
People who value emotional honesty
Those who have lived (or are living) the experience of being more than one thing in a world that wants simplicity

Each mark, wash, and symbol is intentional, forming a piece that is both personal and shared.
