Constructive Criticism with Lachlan Watson

Constructive Criticism is a surreal, emotionally charged exploration of self-reflection in the trans experience — a meditation on reinvention and the shifting dialogue between identity and perception. Through shattered mirrors, theatrical styling, and expressive beauty, Lachlan Watson — the actor and creative force known for their boundary-pushing roles and outspoken voice in queer and trans representation — embodies the friction between vulnerability and control, chaos and construction.

It’s not just fashion; it’s metamorphosis. A portrait of someone mid-process — breaking down, rebuilding, and reclaiming narrative power on their own terms.
