Unorthodox Heretics

This collection is for all the queer people who have been cast aside simply for existing. Too often forgotten, they are left to navigate their struggles in isolation. These paintings explore the profound emotions and undeniable humanity of queer individuals, their pain, their resilience, and the complexity of lives caught between staying and fleeing. For those who become refugees, new barriers await at every border. This project questions the powerful role religion plays in shaping societal judgment, asking urgent questions about the intersection of faith, identity, and survival.
