Acrylic on Canvas 24”x24”

Upon embracing my queerness in Australia, my return home brought disorientation as I struggled to reintegrate into my old life. The artwork symbolizes this internal turmoil with a shattered composition, reflecting the challenges of reconciling my authentic self with past expectations .

The image illustrated this shattered mental state and beneath the surface, vibrant colors subtly hint at the diverse facets of my emerging identity. The piece stands as a visual testament to the resilience needed in navigating this complex journey and the vibrant, colorful identity unfolding amid the fragments of my past reality.
