Kat Wilson’s Warrior Women series draws on the doctrine of strength in vulnerability, showing each subject with breasts bared, dressed in handmade armor that tells the stories of the battles they have fought and that readies them for the battles they have yet to face. Wilson utilizes the diagonal composition of baroque warrior portraits to create images that testify to the ferociousness of femme people ready to spring into motion to forge a path forward for others.

The armor is created by Trisha Guting in an evolving collaborarion.
