Explores the concept of gender roles. We often live in binaries in our society. It helps to organize the complexity of our identities. As a child, I was told I could be “pink” or “blue” — a boy or girl.
I was taught that kissing girls was “shameful”. I quite literally kissed a girl in my closet as a child. As a pansexual woman, I firmly believe in the importance of embracing love. This means looking beyond the binaries — removing judgment. This piece is photographed with lingerie that speaks to the liberatory power of embracing your sexuality without shame.
This piece speaks to my childhood, and I intuitively painted this with my hands. It was chaotic, messy, and raw — much like we are as humans. I hope this piece inspires folks to break through these limiting constructs, and see the potential when we approach each other with acceptance.
We do not need to agree, but we need to hold compassion for one another.
Never lose hope my dear.
*18% of the profits from this piece will be used towards the development of a healing arts center for children. As a volunteer crisis counselor with an organization that supports queer youth, I will ensure that LGBTQ+ children have a safe space within the community.
