Label copy

“In my early twenties, my work was much more explicit. There was a conflation of intimacy and sex. As I grew as a person, these aspects of my life started diverging, and I found that my language could also describe friendship or familial closeness. It doesn’t have to be tied to sex or sexuality to be about queerness. Queerness can be a lens through which to view the world and experience relationships, beyond the sexual.”

-Doron Langberg, 2019
