Carving Spaces for Queer Futures.
We are walking stories, shaped by silence and storm, by thunder and bloom, by dawn and sunrise, we rise, stitched with persistence and hope.
We are walking stories, shaped by silence and storm, by thunder and bloom, by dawn and sunrise, we rise, stitched with persistence and hope.
We carve spaces of breath, where identity is not a question, but a truth.
Our voices spin like planets, each on its own path, unapologetically unaligned.
We keep moving, not to fit, but to belong.

INSPIRATION:
This work draws inspiration from the rhythmic processions of ancient Egyptian wall paintings, reimagined through a vibrant lens of queerness, diversity, and contemporary expression. Figures march together in a shared journey, each unique in form and color, symbolizing the beauty of individuality moving toward a collective future.
Patterns and motifs inspired by Lebanese heritage, from the delicate designs of the traditional coffee cup to the enduring symbol of the cedar tree and the elegance of oriental patterns, weaving cultural memory into a celebration of identity, diversity, and belonging.
