W+K pride mural
Wieden and Kennedy Amsterdam approached me to design and paint a mural in their office for Pride 2021.
I came up with the concept Galaxy of Acceptance for the project. Concept details + photos of the mural below :)
GALAXY OF ACCEPTANCE
Growing up queer is an alienating experiences. For those of us like me who grew up in small towns, we spent most of our adolescence hiding who we were to conform to a society that repeatedly reinforced the idea that being gay was not ok.
Coming out and finding your community feels like discovering a whole galaxy of other aliens like you who love and accept you as you are, when the whole time you thought only your planet existed. This piece is a celebration of that feeling – being unapologetically yourself, out loud, in as many spaces as you can, surrounded by a loving, vibrant and proud community.
