LIAM (in development)

In the fall of 2014, a now-nameless protagonist came out publicly as trans and changed their name to Liam. Almost immediately after, they were sexually assaulted by a man called Liam. They lost their new name before it was even theirs. They lost their celebration. They lost their tears. They lost their silliness. 

Now, just over 10 years later, they have been thrust into the embodiment of four essential selves: Lia, Liam, Liam and Dancing as they set out on a poetic journey through grief, memory, silliness, concretization and disruption.

Through striking image and the continuous embracing and breaking of play and poetic form, LIAM is the story of one wanderer's tireless search for a new name.
