Artist's statement:
Despite over a decade of life in Berlin, my partner and I remain shaped by our origins in places where homosexuality is not merely stigmatized but actively suppressed. In such environments, public displays of affection were not just discouraged; they were taboo. This deep-seated conditioning lingers, even in a city known for its vibrant queer culture. To this day, we find ourselves refraining from holding hands in public, and our farewells at the train station remain achingly brief and kissless.
Technical details:
The original painting was painted on canvas 100cmX100cm with acrylic colors and pencils.
