Focused on the concept of Trans erasure by using a picture of the US Department of the interior national park service sign for the Stonewall National monument.

The National park Service logo which traditionally shows a tall tree in a flourishing field with a buffalo in front of a snowcapped mountain also has those natural resources fading and blending into the background.
