LAMUS

A cyanotype screen-printed onto a mirror named after the lake Narcissus drowned in. Exhibited in The Holy Art Gallery of Dalston and SET Lewisham. Mixing amorphous queer identity with reflections on the pain that comes with it brings forth queer media’s fascination with beauty and the lengths to pursue it. The homoerotic subtext between the myth of Narcissus and Andre Gide's writing on this manifests the visual interpretation of being enslaved to the senses wrapped within. A mummification or entrapment in ephemeral solipsism, spiritual queer hedonism but also echoing innocence or naivety in yearning. Kisses masking the bandages below.
