Survival Series ✊ 1 Year of Joyful Resistance

I don’t need to tell you that the world is full of suffering. We see more of it every day. During times like these, it’s easy to feel hopeless and powerless. It’s hard to keep fighting.

My new series is my Survival Series. Each animal and plant depicted is an endangered species, and the subjects were inspired by real queer people who have been lost to violence. The animals hold up signs with messages meant to speak to our difficult cultural moment while providing hope for a way to live with mindfulness in the face of our difficult circumstances.

When our very existence is threatened, living fully and joyfully as our unapologetic queer selves is an act of resistance in and of itself. Let's face the coming year with that kind of defiance. Let's be too stubbornly hopeful to let our faith in a better future die.

كلّ شيءٍ تفقدهُ..

تبحث عنه..حيث فقدته.‏

إلا شعورك بالأمان.

ستبحث عنه بأي مكان..

غير المكان الذي فقدته فيه.
