The Surface We Break

$100.00

A dramatic diagonal split creates a visual metaphor for the different spaces navigated by the LGBTQ+ community. The smooth, frozen expanse represents the cold, solid expectation of conformity or the required façade of silence. The active, liquid side symbolizes the joyous, sometimes turbulent, but ultimately necessary breaking of that surface—the freedom and vulnerability of living with true visibility. The line is not a barrier, but a site of transition and courage, where the choice to flow is made.
