Social Constraint" delves into the intricate dynamics of censorship within queer art, presenting a surreal portrayal of the tension between expression and suppression.

The composition employs bold, painterly strokes to convey immediacy and raw emotion, while the background draws inspiration from Australian artist Jeffrey Smart's urban landscapes, characterized by their geometric precision and modernist elements. This juxtaposition highlights the discord between the fluidity of queer identity and the rigid structures imposed by societal norms.

Through this work, I aim to prompt viewers to reflect on the pervasive impact of censorship and the resilience inherent in queer artistic expression.
