Trans is a video exploring other personas morphed to myself. These transformations were collected from my posts on Instagram(@jabbati). They were originally created in Snapchat from my own photos and others I follow on Instagram. It’s a study of augmenting my reality with the outside world and creating a new narrative by rendering myself new to the world.

Happy Pride!
