- Description
- A color photographic portrait of Hector Xtravaganza, captured in Manhattan in 2018. Xtravaganza is pictured standing in front of a dark grey background. He wears a denim inside-out Gaultier Jean's jacket over a thin black puffer jacket and a black, perforated leather, button down hoodie. He also wears black pants. Around his neck is a silver necklace with a bejeweled crown and "X" medallion. He looks straight at the camera, his proper right hand hooked through the strap of a grey quilted crossbody bag at his hip, and the other holding the handles of another bag, though the body of the bag is not included in the frame. There are no inscriptions, front or back.
