I am a manatee trapped in a woman's body. Woe is me.

Womanatee, b. 1989

Self-Portrait with Friend in Red Sweater, 2012
ink, colored pencil, digital image
The figures of a majestic sea cow and human in a figure-skating-partner-like embrace are seen gracefully soaring amongst the soft folds of a waving American flag. Created when Womanatee was in her early twenties, this self-portrait conveys an intense struggle with specie identification. Little is known about the artist except that she was really, really ridiculously good-looking.
