The piece portrays the battle that many LBGTQ+ individuals face in societies that don’t accept them. They’re constantly rejected and abused, because they don’t conform to the traditional gender roles. This internal struggle is literally depicted by a feminine figure trying to break free from the masculine body that confines her.
This work is a powerful expression of the desire to be free to express one’s true self, despite the obstacles that may be in place.
