An animated digital painting designed to serve as a commentary on the debate surrounding the identity of Joan of Arc and her role in modern society. This debate has focused on her controversial adoption as a queer icon for lesbians and gender nonconforming individuals within the LGBT community, and the resulting conflict with the dogma of the Roman Catholic church.
