This series is inspired by

SAPPHO'S ODE TO APHRODITE as an antidote to a typical culturally western hetero perspective on

LOVE

and instead explore a [re]new[ed] queered one on it -

one typically

ignored,

denied,

twisted, or

left in invisibility

or fantasy because

it does not fit inside the

hetero box or

disrupts normalcy .

all I want for Xmas is to break out of these chains

that lie heavy on our collective

gaze/voice/body &

return to love in freedom

Here are 2 of the 7 works currently in progress, recently shown in our first @goldsmithsgdart expo.
