BE LONGING SERIES

After studying the pivotal role that body language plays in relationships, I began to use this language in my work. Through it, I seek to enhance non-traditional perceptions of sexuality and gender. As we normalize fluidity, we cast aside stumbling blocks for members of the next generation as they explore their own identities. This work uses layers of paint, fast brush strokes, and drawing marks to represent the chaos of fear and shame and, ultimately, the tranquility attained when coming out on the other side.
