Abstract
Three Tries is an interdisciplinary exhibition featuring installation, sculpture, and performance that explores the experiences of a Queer nonbinary individual growing up in the Baptist Christian South. The exhibition centers around the reclamation of the body, identity, and space, drawing parallels between the baptist christian holy trinity of father, son, and the holy ghost and Sigmund Freud's Trinity of id, ego, and superego. By returning to the developmental stages of one's life, the exhibition serves as a revolutionary attempt to isolate the id and disentangle the workings of the id, ego, and superego. Three Tries represents a visual framework for discovering the deepest parts of oneself and transforming into something greater than one's past.
