Description
This work acknowledges those in the Nelson LGBTQI+ community that are struggling whether through discrimination, denial of rights, bullying, and/or family rejection. It is an abstract portrait of an unknown individual who suffers in silence, and whom represents the wider group. It is a painting on board – the geometric forms representing the energy (e.g. character) of the individual that has been worn away by societal pressures.
