Put Your Best Chest Forward

We often say “put your best foot forward,” a phrase tied to grace, confidence, and first impressions. But what if the world rarely saw you as you truly are? What if becoming yourself required shedding layers of fear, expectation, and invisibility?
This piece reimagines that idiom through the lens of gender, identity, and embodiment. Painted in the vibrant colours of the Progress Pride Flag, each nipple cast affirms the right to be seen—fully, joyfully, and on your own terms.
Becoming is a celebration of trans bodies, yes—but more than that, it’s a call to honour the power of presentation, of transformation, of stepping into who you are with boldness. Everyone deserves the chance to be met as they wish to be known.
This is not about arrival. It is about becoming—and the bravery it takes to show up, chest first.
