ANGELS OF KL - creative proj by Ella Matahara

AOK is a love letter from me. It's an homage to the transwomen of Kuala Lumpur, honoring their livelihoods, living in a city that constantly rejects them

Navigating life with resilience and hope, despite the presence of fear. Angels, overlooking the KL's streets, looking out for one another with hands interlinked

They are not our enemies, they are our tender ones — survivors & protectors worthy of a seat at the table too 🏳️‍⚧️
