Love Over Hate

Love Over Hate

Love Over Hate revisits Samuel Avery’s earlier confrontation with transphobia, transforming it into an act of reclamation and healing. Where once harmful language covered the body, it is now interrupted, corrected, and rewritten—shifting the narrative from violence to affirmation.

Through layered text, the work visually enacts resistance: hateful statements are crossed out, reframed, or replaced with words of support, recognition, and love. The body remains central—still marked by experience, but no longer defined by it. Instead, it becomes a site of transformation, where language is challenged and reclaimed in real time.

This piece moves beyond exposure toward action. It calls for accountability, urging viewers not to remain silent in the face of transphobia, but to actively reshape the language and attitudes that sustain it. Love Over Hate stands as a declaration that visibility must be accompanied by care, and that change begins with choosing to speak—and act—differently.
