              Becoming Lucien

              Becoming Lucien

              Lucien Pin, Lucien Pin & Alex Haugmard / Thibault Elie / France

              A 7-year-old child finds themselves trapped in a void, struggling with an identity that feels wrong. Their future self, twenty years ahead, reaches out through the darkness, guiding them toward understanding and promising a future of transformation—a new name, body, and voice. This is the story of how I became Lucien.

              My name is Lucien. I’m a 27yo trans man and artist. Becoming Lucien is a VR self-portrait that invites you to experience my transition journey. Told as a conversation with my 7-year-old self, it begins with the life-changing moment of choosing my name and moves towards reconciling with my true self.
