Ad Homonem is a surrealist depiction of my experiences navigating the gay dating scene as a person of colour. Using still-life imagery loaded with symbolism and pop-culture references, I explore and poke fun at the quirks, intricacies and struggles of dating while bringing to light the toxicity pervasive within the queer community. Each image expresses an internal dialogue in which I question these cultural norms while pondering on my own identity.
This series is a love letter to my community, an acknowledgement that we are not without our flaws and an unapologetic celebration of my identity as a gay man.
