Introduction
Dear visitors,
Our society tends to put significant emphasis on one small aspect of the LGBT community: whether its members are L(esbian), G(ay), B(isexual), or T(ransgender). It clumps diverse individuals into broad categories based solely on their sexual/gender identity, yet these people (like all people) are more than just a letter. They are composites. They are jigsaw puzzles, and their individual experiences are the pieces that fit together, revealing the big picture. So instead of looking at one small piece of the puzzle, our society should make an effort to solve the thing and appreciate the image it creates.
The photographs we have created/altered below illustrate what people can miss by looking at only one part of a comprehensive whole. We designed the page to work like a kind of digital exhibit, with each blog post acting as a single artistic piece and contributing to the overall theme in some way.
This is an art activism project for one of our classes, so we encourage you to give us any feedback that you may have about the art and/or the message. Also, please feel free to share your thoughts and opinions with us.
Enjoy!
Carolyne and Fatima
