"To Be Loved" - This piece is a physical illustration meant to narrate the struggle young gay men have to find genuine intimacy. Within the piece, I am using my body and its movement to express the longing for physical intimacy, and the charcoal to illustrate the desperate effort to “create” an intimate figure for yourself. Another aspect of this piece is the clothing I’m wearing, the stains from the charcoal powder illustrating the scars that this longing and desperation create.
