"Reclamation"

Reclamation is a visual representation of reclaiming derogatory words that have been used against the LGBTQ+ community. By taking the letters from these words and writing them in cursive, I created the base of shapes for the composition of the paintings. I turned these hurtful words into beautiful pieces of art and then added subtle words of affirmation over each of the pieces to help reclaim these terms and shine a positive light on our community.
