“This Is My” is a meditative performance for creating boundaries and affirming my body, a meditation lasting 60 minutes. This meditation frames its focus on demystifying the experience of my body. I meditate on: what does it mean to have ownership of this body? How do I know I own it? It is the process of manifesting the hidden nuances of my transgender experience. I connect and fill in the empty spaces of pieces I have lost, change reality, and create clear boundaries.
