Birth of Rebirth

Photographed by Sveta Maximova.

Inspired by phase of embryo development and the birth process, a metaphorical story about human nature and the environment affecting the individual. Three parts, showing the birth of a character, his collision with reality and overcoming it due the birth of internal energy, are connected by colour gradation that also symbolizes the contradiction of human essence. A series by Sveta Maximova.

Together with local art students Jade, Emi and Molly we created a short story about the young queer community searching for their safe space around town. Emi: “London has always had a complicated relationship with queer identities, and as a queer person finding spaces to exist in comfortably is a task in itself. People will try to tell you the UK is a safe progressive haven for LGBT+people, but more and more gay clubs and spaces are being used by predatory creeps, trans people are waiting months for healthcare and hate crime is on the rise. As long as we’ve told there’s no space for us, we try to build spaces for ourselves.” Photographed by Tom Marshak.
