What if all the Romcom stereotypes we are used to from the movies included Queer people? And even more, what if in those stereotypes, the Queer characters have a happy ending?
Ever since I started, I was looking for a way to “Queer-ify” my photography and my art. As a movie lover and maker, I was tired of seeing us in tragic stories. We always die, get broken up with, get into an accident, get cancer… it seems we can never be truly happy until the end.
I take these overused stereotypes on purpose, because that is what me and my inner teen want to see us in. In the mundane, in love, at home, in public, free, liberated… without the tackiness and fakeness of Netflix and Hallmark (oops.)
Now, more than ever, I want to use my art as resistance. I want Queer art made for and by Queer folks.
I couldn’t imagine a world without us, because it has never existed and it never will!
