This is what a queer christian looks like
[Artist Statement] Tell us more about your photo by sharing a brief artist statement OR answering this prompt: "This is what being ______ means to me..." (Max. 100 words)
This photo taken on 35mm film was originally used for a photojournalism class project intended to anonymously share the lives of LGBTQ+ students at a conservative christian college. Despite the school’s efforts to pretend we didn’t exist, we did. As we always have & always will. The school has since shut down & we live on.
[Visual Description] Describe your photo so we can provide alt-text. Example: "Two women holding hands and smiling as they walk in a pride parade, surrounded by rainbow flags."
On the left, the back of a statue of the Virgin Mary can be seen through a window. In the reflection, you can see the silhouette of a person. On the right, you can see a bouquet of white roses. The reflection on the glass covers the roses in the image of a nearby building and some plants.
