Abstract
Queer and a Masterpiece is a thesis that expresses queerness in a positive light with portraits of queer individuals that I know personally and love. In creating these brightly colored portraits with imagery of moths, butterflies, plants, and other symbols of growth, I make physical the love we have of our queer selves, our queer loved ones, and our own inherent queer journies. Also, in sharing this work with you, I aim to create a space or time where you are able to find beauty in queerness; whether it is your own, others’, or (hopefully) both. Finally, in building off of queer theory texts and queer artists’ interpretations of queerness, I hope to solidify the idea that queerness is able to unite all LGBTQ+ identities. Once united, we are able to celebrate our own queer selves through self, communal, familial, and romantic queer love and pride.
