SinnerTo me, SINNER, is about the struggle I had with growing up religious in a religion that sees gay people as sinners. Often times when I was younger I would ask myselt it I was a sinner because I'm gay. I wondered if the god I believed in loved me, if he even existed. Was I sinning by being myself?
All the religious items are on the left side, the closed off side. I knew that if I chose the religious side I was brought up in I would end up as nothing more than a wife with kids, a husband, and a useless degree. A dead end.
The other things that I enjoy are on the right side, the side with no walls, no limits. To me it seems more liberating when I'm myself, like I have unlimited space. In a way, all my being is outing out past the walls of the canvas into the unknown.
This is about my struggle with identity. Asking God if he still loves me, or if he ever did, because according to the religion I grew up in he never loved me at all.May 6, 2026
