Hōmō • Dentïtes” [The fact of being, is it enough?]

The work is inspired by the term Homo, rooted in the Latin word meaning man or human being. It is through the term “Homo” that the work questions the interchangeable usage between language and meanings as it relates to humanity and the evolution of our existence, its connection to identity, communities, and culture. It investigates sexual morality, love, inequality, and the unique and various ways we form relationships. To answer this challenging question: Why does belief act as a double-edged sword between humanity and constitutional ideologies? 

“There are so many ways of being despicable it makes one’s head spin. But the way to be despicable is to be contemptuous of other people’s pain.” 

– James Baldwin
