- Josef

photosynthesis. 

under the light of the same sun 

we've assigned subjective meaning to our world though everything - sky, sun, moon is objective

an infinite gap between the mind and the eyes

ugly facts

false experts 

deliberate fabrication

those we would least expect to be correct seek to impose their standards on others to fit into a narrow definition of beauty

abandon expectations of being fashionable

a friend recognized me on the street by the birthmark on my leg and the mole in my eye

desire seen through a queer lens isn't meant to be relatable

break taboos

capture the hidden dark places in everyone's hearts

fast food love

I was made aware of my place in society numbed people awakened by underrepresented problems

finding a balance between equality and freedom

infinite possibilities, deepest desires are revealed in our subconscious 

where thoughts and feelings are freed from the constraints of reality

seek new dimensions without limitation of morals, 

cultural and religious rituals. 

images are prayers, holy songs 

symbols of hope?
