Description:

The inspiration behind this work are those judgments that a gay/queer man experiences after his coming out and starting reaching out to his own authentic himself in the society.

The words and phrases written in Persian in the background of the painting, are the things that I have personally experienced, heard or read on social media.

"Sick, dirty, ,najis, not normal, problem, he is not a man, is he a woman?, how is it possible, but why, I cannot accept that..."
