sites of queer epiphany


,,,

in soft sheets

against cold metal

where wind touches skin

where we cry because what once bound us is in pieces at our feet

where we dance divinely

as we do

hearts can sing here

we can live again,,,

love and liveness

binding fabrics

material (not seen but felt) weaved together by capitalistic//hetero-normative//discriminatory//violent//oppressive// systems and then pressed upon non-normative bodies//beings

to feel the binding of your being,,, for your unworthiness of being to be spoken as fact,, each time creates another stitch,, another interlocking of loops to pull apart,,,,, 

i've been covered,,, and ive been uncovering

here it is,,, broken into pieces (estimated year of representation of body—-2021)


unraveling///unbounded liveness

(in direct response and relation to binding fabrics)

(in direct collaboration with synesthetic animations//tangible extensions of reality)

to be alive,, to dance (an active practice of aliveness),, to exist in joy and practice self love//self expression,,

for this active practice of being to unravel the binding fabrics pressed upon you,, 

for the material to be with you still,,, but remade into something beautiful,,,,,

to believe we have this ability,,, that our dancing of life can free us from what attempts to contain us,, what attempts to kill us.
