Master Thesis (2019)
Theme : Gender identity
Subject : Is the future non-binary ?
Gender identity is a field that has been deeply studied for years now, on a psychological and social angle. But for me gender identity is before anything else stories, feelings, and life experiences.
That is why I decided to built my thesis in seven chapters, each one beginning with a fictional story (and inspired by real history). Those stories are sections of daily lives, and each character performs a different gender identity.
Then comes a more theorical section, explaining the basics of constructivism feminism. In order to do that, I worked on comparing and putting together researches made by many writers in the university field of gender theory, such as Judith Butler.

I also created character designs to represent each of my fictional characters to illustrate my stories.
Those portraits are placed at the beggining of each chapter.
I really enjoyed studying this for a year, as well as designing the object itself.
I am aware that my thesis only scratches the surface of what gender theory really is.
But I hope that the few readers of Beautiful Identities will acquire the same curiosity for this subject than I has.
