A series of paintings that depict my personal journey: a story of a young homosexual man living with HIV in Saudi Arabia. 

In a visual language inspired by traditional geometric and biomorphic designs the paintings aim to create a bridge between marginalised sections of society and to open up a dialogue about contemporary issues that still carry a lot of shame and stigma.

The methods and materials that will be used in the paintings are also inspired by traditional art. Natural gesso, natural pigments and egg tempera symbolise a return to a deeper Truth. They are symbolic of a return to Mother Nature and rebirth.
