This is a portrait of Z, aka hotbirdbath on Instagram. They are a Divine Trans tattoo artist and therapist who's highly rooted in diasporic storytelling, mythology, folklore, and ancestral work. Bui is honoring their transcended "transness" in this larger than life portrait, to almost deify them and their practice. Bui also has 2 tattoos by Z, and wanted to include images of Z's tattoos and their "quirky/adorable pose and pigtails".
