dawn (serenade)

In the quiet aftermath of an all-night rooftop party, two strangers continue their conversation with a song. They are both in liminal states of self-determined sexual orientation and/or gender, with masculine centers. The energy enveloping them is one of a new arena of bonding and mutual adoration. This piece was created using mainly the oil paint brush in MS Paint 3D, a software I fell in love with because of its accessibility, vibrancy, and texture. All of my work is informed by my reverence for Black queer and trans people. This piece is a study of a form of Black queer and trans intimacy.
