In this work, I have the intention of revealing my story through art as someone who is in the group of LGBTQ+

 

My past life lived in a narrow society like a spider web. It is like a trap that we inevitably have to live in. Among those black silk threads were many people who had blocked thoughts. Against different things or something creative, they are in it a society of traps and connections and growing bigger and bigger, but among the black silk threads we still exist. Our bundle is colorful silk threads. People like us in a trap society cannot express themselves. All you can do is try to hide yourself and blend in with them.

 

The fallen hand is my hand Even though I try to blend in and try to a perfect that my family wants. But in the end, I couldn't hide my identity, so society condemned me and got rid of me. I felt like I was falling and suddenly a hidden colorful thread tried to hold me together and one of them was a red thread lurking among the colorful threads. The red thread that won't let go of my hand no matter what, is my lover.  If you notice you will see a black thread trying to hold back the thread trying to help. Those silks threads are my family members who are preventing anyone from helping me.

 

It was the most painful thing that happened to me, but in the darkest of situations there was still hope, what we are born to be is not wrong but the most wrong is the thoughts and subconscious of the people around us.
