WE ARE OVER

This work delves into the complex and nuanced experience of queer love, desire, loneliness, and spirituality. Through the use of religious, modern, and esoteric symbolism, the work explores the ways in which these experiences intersect and shape one another. Themes of loss and longing are prominent throughout the work, as the artist reflects on the struggles of navigating a world that often fails to fully understand or accept queer love and desire. The use of symbolism allows for a deeper exploration of these themes, as the use of familiar imagery conveys the unique experience of being a queer person in today's world.
