The pieces also address the perception of and relationship with the self which is affected by sexual identity, and the ramifications of this on the ways in which the individual may feel the need to alter the way they present themselves. This could be in order to assimilate into the minority groups with which they identify or to conform to the norm so as to not be identified. Presenting as visibly queer can cause the individual to feel further isolated from wider society, even if they feel more integrated into their minority community as a result. This conflict is represented by the contorted figures, as well as the opposing colours used in both panels of the diptych. The use of pink and blue hues could be interpreted as representations of binary gender and how this is subverted by queer identity.
