This work draws inspiration from "The Birth of Venus" in art history to tell a story of embracing queer identity. The protagonist, a male-presenting Venus, represents the pride in embracing femininity, challenging traditional ideas of masculinity. His journey mirrors the struggles faced by many queer individuals as he emerged from a protective shell, symbolizing self-love.
The narrative explores the rejection and isolation experienced by the protagonist in his world, leading to a descent into the depths of despair. However, the ocean's submerged world welcomes him, embracing his unique identity. Among aquatic companions, he unveils his radiant self, becoming a shining symbol of acceptance for those who dare to be authentic.
Rising from the sea, his companions admire his courage, understanding that true beauty lies in diversity and self-acceptance. The artwork's iridescent blues and purples symbolize the mysticism of queerness, celebrating the journey towards embracing one's true self
