Undergraduate Haley Drozdowicz asks Cox to sign an art nouveau poster based on Cox that Drozdowicz made for a drawing class assignment. Drozdowicz explained, "Instead of choosing a stock photo for a model, I chose Laverne Cox and decided to make it a piece about transformation, and being beautiful in your own body."
